The museum's board voted this week to sell its land to their neighbor, the Cardinals, who intend to use it as part of the stalled Ballpark Village development.
Yes, 'stalled' is one adjective that can be applied to Ballpark Village. 'Theoretical,' 'imaginary,' or 'invisible' are others. Our good chairman admits as much:
The sale "means that the project can expand into that northwest block," DeWitt said. "Exactly when it will do that is a question for future debate."
Not only is ballpark village in the nebulous future, but so is the debate about the project. What do they need more space for, anyway? Do they not have enough land to store the putrid, muddy water? Apparently not, and so the Bowling Hall of Fame is on its way to the Lone Star State. Better get down there and bowl a frame while you can. Maybe lift a frosty cold one and toast it goodbye (while frosty cold ones are still locally produced).

The Ballpark Village is a lot less frustrating if you think of it less as a concrete commercial development and more as an exercise in theoretical physics. And I can assure you the architecture turns out better this way.
Oh, I get it. You mean like it exists in another dimension, or an alternate reality, or a disruption in the time-space continuum located only in that location which shields the actual village from our view? You're right, that does help!
