    Toy Story Hotel Planned to replace Paradise Pier Hotel?

    You bring up two separate points (that may or may not be related). Yes, normally refurbishment should normally be less expensive than tearing down and rebuilding a structure. But most all of us have seen instances where a refurbishment doesn't achieve the end results a developer wants, so they...
