I need a rolling deck to play shuffleboard (this kind). Maybe they figured that and the installation of hydraulics to simulate a rocking ocean liner would be too great?

 

They should consider going the seedy bar route and install some bar style shuffleboard tables.

The green cross signage in the rendering of Agricole's new place is a play off Farmacia signage in Europe.  Don't be surprised if they somehow pull this in as part of the branding into their "storyline" of European meets Texas via Indianola. 

 

Also of note, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell filed a LLC at his address in Kentucky for Indianola Distilling just a few months ago so he is likely contracted to help get it up and running.

Heard earlier this year that Weber was seeking private investors for his bourbon distillery concept and the associated 3 sub brands with other spirits they might produce.    He and Dougherty of Ancorian were up in Kentucky this past week and were with Pickerell at least part of the time, per social media.

A new brewery literally a block from 8th Wonder? I'm starting to wonder how many craft breweries this city can absorb...

Have you been Portland?  With all the residential downtown and east downtown these breweries should be fine long as they make good beer.

Generally, anything east of St. Emanuel is unaffected.  

 

If by unaffected, you mean won't be bulldozed. The businesses over here will absolutely be hurt during the years of construction adjacent to them.

 

In the long run, they'll be fine, as the area will only get better if they put a park on top of 59. Its just a question of holding power.

It will be harder to determine exactly what the feel of the area will be after the 45 reroute. All the new bars and restaurants in this area will now be immediately facing a massive freeway. And of course everything on the other side of St.E will be demolished. The noise and visual blight may be enough to kill this part of town.

will now be immediately facing a massive freeway underneath a park..  If that park happens it will be a great thing for Eado.  Klyde Warren didn't exactly kill that part of Dallas.

I’m not saying you have to be a sunshine pumpers but geez. Calling this pesamistic would be offensive to pessimist. 

 

If  ,and it’s a big if, the park happens it will only add to the area not kill it. Once an area is determined to be a entertainment area (by community not developers) it’s not just gonna die. If current business’ don’t make it others will come in.

Admittedly, I am pretty pessimistic for this specific area. The East Village project won't be directly facing the cap and cover park (which looks to start at Lamar St), and it will be losing Polk St connectivity to the GRB. It's also important to keep in mind that Klyde Warren Park was anchored on both sides by high rises, hotels, and cultural institutions. EaDo is still a lot of old warehouses with spatters of townhome farms.
