Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
The Padre Hotel in downtown Bakersfield is up for sale again for $5.6 million.  Pacifica Enterprises LLC purchased the historic landmark building for $1 million five years ago, but the company's plan to add condos to the building never materialized and construction stopped halfway through a renovation project that Pacifica claims it sunk more than $4 million into.  There have been issues over asbestos removal and trash left in a parking lot outside the building.  Now the building may get a fresh start as condos, apartments, a hotel (again) or offices. What do you think?  Do you think the Padre is a shining example of what Bakersfield's downtown can become or a blight on the city's skyline?  How much would a revitalized Padre help plans to reenergize downtown?  Do you think downtown is on its way back or will it take another earthquake to shake up the town's downtown?
