What about the Hoa Binh shopping center right across the street from the "Superblock"? I used to get the best Vietnamese Po-Boys in a small shop there and now the entire building has closed down. Does anyone know what the plans are for that space?

The exisiting infrastructure is interesting, with interior corridors and spaces for 10+ tenants. It may not need to be torn down. Either way, this lot, in conjunction with the Superblock, have the potential to dramatically alter that area.

I ate at La Tapatia for lunch yesterday, and took a walk around the "Fairmont" project. There was a lot of activity....10-15 trucks, land clearing, massive pipes, etc.....and I was surprised there had not been more activity on this message board. This is a large peice of land in a prime location with the potential to make a large impact in the area's redevelopment.

Tapatia alone should make it one of the more sought after properties in town......

I just took a walk around the site during lunch, and while the parking lots are still full, all of the pay kiosks have notices indicating that they will be "closing in February 2007" and offer parking alternatives in the area.

Central Parking would have nothing to gain by displaying these notices unless construction is around the corner.

I guess none of us would be posting on this message board if we weren't hoping for the best. Nothing is lost by staying optimistic.

February 5.........any news?

I'll be happy when I see someone digging a hole.

It was very disturbing to stumble upon this today. It sounds like Costco is here to stay, but is there any flexibilty in their design plans. The inner loop has made too many strives in recent years to take a step back on this one.

Given the relative wealth in the area (River Oaks, West U, etc.) and the influx of high end condos, I am positive the most homeowners in the near vicinity would fight for a change in design. Can we forward this link to any relevant neighborhood associations?

I was eating at Benjy's this weekend and noticed a new billboard accross the street advertising "pre-sales" for the development.

Is that an indication of impending construction or just a marketing tool? Have they even finalized the issue on Bolsover?
