An excavator tore apart the Queen of Hearts Hotel and Casino Tuesday to make way for a new eight-story city hall. The $146.2 million building will be part of a five-block mixed-use development that Mayor Goodman says will revitalize downtown with 13,000 new jobs and $4 billion in new investments. The Queen of Hearts was built in 1963 and was infamous for its crime-ridden past, including drugs and prostitution.
