The committee then moved on to plans relating to what would replace the soon-to-be-demolished station. Suggestions included a stop for the high-speed railway, a new location for the Edgewater Hotel or a pimp party pad to be shared by several WUD committee directors.

""I can already picture the perfect spot for my pong table,"" Tilley said. ""Just don't ask us to come up with a name for it.""
