A new City Council task force on a possible casino at Suffolk Downs in East Boston will cast its eye on Downtown Crossing, too: "Among the issues ... the board will consider is the 20 percent Suffolk Downs ownership stake of Steven Roth, whose company, Vornado Realty Trust, has left a gaping hole in the ground at Downtown Crossing on the site that formerly housed Filene’s. The controversial eyesore has had Roth and Mayor Thomas M. Menino publicly feuding for years." [Herald]
