It could have failed time and time again but it didn't and they risked their own money to build and they could have done it much less beautifully.
Why NOT think well of them? I am glad I got to be a part of the fun to live here and watch it grow. I see it as far more than money.

My grandparents had a similar success story on a smaller scale, and never needed publicity and advertisements or sycophants to draw accolades. In fact my grandfather would turn over in his grave if heaven ever saw me using his name to promote ANYTHING at all, ever. It is just - dark, and unattractive.
