  1. I've wondered about this building. I think the building itelf was there for years, it's been getting refurfished for years now. I thought they were going to be lofts. It does look nice
  2. Do you mean the sky lobby on the 60th floor. If so yeah it's open to the public.
  3. Cool, does anyone know what was there(please let it be a surface lot )
  4. Yeah it is pretty bad I call it the "Hallway" Yeah that Walmart and the one off of Dunville or just nasty. I heard the rumor of a Walmart or Target going up where it's being demolished. Does anyone know if anything is set in stone open air market, walmart, target or yes more parking?
  5. Sweet, do they have a set date for groundbreaking? This summer is a bit vague
  6. Welcome amsterdam. So far to my knowledge they haven't broken gound yet we were looking at a possible May groundbreaking but that seems like a slimmer chance every day. Some people have said it's not unusual for a date to be pushed back a few months. So I'm still optimistic. It appeared that some "soil samples" were taken not too long ago. So far the only two tenants on board is House of Blues (HOB) and Lucky Strike Bowling.
  7. Here's exactly what the announcement flyer says
  8. I grew up in this area from '78-'89. We always knew it as 1st ward. A friend of the family lived where the Target's going up, they gave her a pretty good deal for her house. Our family was renting a house right across Crocket Elementary what is now the schools parking lot. I told my mom about all the development going on she said " I told your dad he should of bought something in that area while it was still cheap" So true. I still remember everything about our old house, from the outside plumbing to the holes in the floor, to the stains in the ceiling from where water leaked in. As crappy as the house was we had a great time as a family there, it wasn't until much later that I realized we were poor. I wouldn't trade that entire time for anything though
  9. It was also refurbished in 98, I forget how old it was. Isn't there already a carousel in downtown at the aquarium? I could be wrong it's been years since I last been
  10. Why do you ask that? We were just talking about how this place needs more seafood restaurants(besides just fish and chips aka chippies) Mmmm what I wouldn't do for some good seafood Anyways......The last picture looks plain, just a box with trees up front. The other two are alright. At this point I don't care to much about renderings the actual building usaully comes out different. I would like this to get off the ground soon though.
  11. Groundbreaking? Final design descision? More soil samples? Sources?
  12. I think it was just a phrase/rep that was picked up and stuck. I always saw it as an ordinary mall. Yeah some of the surrounding area can be shady but the mall and bussiness area isn't as bad as a lot of people think it is
  13. Lunch time and 9-5 during the week it doesn't look too different than downtown, people in suits walking around. In the evening you would find more teenagers and families mostly appearing to range from lower to mid income. It's not the worse mall around and any improvement is welcomed.
  14. Thanks eelimon.....although I thought you would be a bit more creative in your welcome. Yeah that's what I'm talking about
  15. Sweet....it's still really early in the season, I hope they keep it up
  16. Yeah, I would of thought that five years later they would of eased up like Chase tower.
  17. Gotta love that username Welcome to the forum I believe it might of been speculated as for it actually happening I
  18. Just saw 26 news at the opening day street festival.....soo I'm getting ready to go. That's probably as close as I'm going to get to opening game experience. i'll try to take pictures
  19. Yeah.....A new jail should be built further in and the current jail should be converted into a UHD building, a hotel, apartment housing
  20. Yeah I saw that too I heard that they are considering NOT knocking over the current Co-Cathedral. That it may be used as a hall for the church. I guess there was a lot of opposition to getting rid of it.
  21. Just a little research on the subject at hand scrolling through the thread makes a difference. Oh well, We have strayed off subject so everyone should drop it.......if anyone else has anything else about it they should just IM, drop it, or go to the thread about reading threads before posting( it exists)
