2ndwardOG 46 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Cant wait for this development to be completed so I can check this place out. Going to be a great addition as the area is in need of more good restaurants. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastdwntwn 162 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does anyone know what else is supposed to go on this large lot? On Bell St. there are a bunch of small concrete driveways that look like townhome driveways. Is there a residential portion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's only a tiny sliver of the block that they don't control.

But it isn't the area that they don't control. The driveways are along bell. They seem to be too close together to be entrances to a parking lot. I will snap a picture the next time I am over there.

Too small for food trucks as they cannot block the sidewalk (also, why food trucks at a restaurant?). This appears to be a terribly implemented method of turning public street parking into private restaurant parking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hutchins and St. E are turning into pedestrian friendly streets with more and more developments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they could be the sole alcohol vendor and make up for lost food sales that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shoshugibon is supposed to make the wood more resistant to insect and fungal attack. Consider that there are Japanese temple structures that have been so treated and have been around for more than a century. I had to introduce shoshugibon to some architect interns who persistently referred to fire retardant-treated wood (chemically treated to resist burning) as "fire-treated wood." I explained to them that there is a such thing as fire-treated wood but it was not what they intended. Most all of them thought shoshugibon is a very cool and I agree. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
