This would be phenomenal. Thanks everyone for the quick info & good discussion!

Just drove up Shepherd today to avoid an accident on 45 and noticed a huge construction project in the median. Anybody know what's going on? Lots of digging and tearing up the dirt, but I did notice 3 large rebar frames big enough to possibly support a roadway overhead. Is it going to be some kind of HOV connector to 45 or something? Couldn't find any info on the transtar construction page either.

Has the highrise been built yet?

Only by digging down!

Good lord. $311/sq ft? That's insane. That's $100/sq ft over going rate. In fairness though, it's ~3 blocks from Torchys :-)

We used Charlie Roofing for a small repair job. Communication was a bit lacking at times, but the work was good and the price was right.

100 pages on this thread, and nobody is any closer to convincing the other side that they're right. Or wrong. Or whatever. I'm confused. Just as confused as 2979 posts ago. What were we talking about again? Hey look, a Wally-world!

Using Facebook to guage public interest is like using Wikipedia for research.

They just finished a number of upgrades, so I'm guessing it's sticking around for a while. They actually improved the produce section quite a bit, reorganized the store, changed the front entrance, and slapped a fresh coat of paint on it. It's not my primary store although it's the closest one to me, but it is definitely improved.

At $449 / sq ft, I'd say it's still on the pricier side.

Not soon enough.

There's a huge chunk of recently cleared land at N main and 610. Any idea what's going in there?

Market I'd Like (to) Frequent?

Can anyone recommend a good Arborist? One of our trees seems to have some kind of sooty mold growing on it, and we'd like to get a professional opinion Any names/numbers of folks you've had good experiences with would be appreciated. Thanks

Just my own obsessions

For the love of god, can we please lock this thread down on October 27th?

We call it White Castle

>2500 posts in this thread. What was the topic again?

Wow. It is laughable that they advertise you can get from the site to the SW Freeway or anywhere downtown in "5 minutes" (slide 3 on either link). The last time I even came close to that kind of speed/distance was a few hours before Ike hit, when there were ZERO cars on the road. Even going up Yale to 610 would be a challenge, unless there were no cars in front of you and you hit every green light (all 10 of them in the 3 mile stretch). And believe me, they are not timed so you can make every one (Koehler, I-10 East, 1-10 West, 6th, 11th, 14th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, 610 East)

For the one on 11th, it's right by the hike/bike trail right? If that's the one you're thinking of, I'm pretty sure they said it would be (medical?) offices. Not sure about the one up by *bucks. It sure is an awful green though. Maybe some kind of carwash place? 2 bays seems pretty small for a jiffy-lube type shop

If we're lucky they'll fix some of the aging sidewalks and curbs. Seems strange to start that work right as school starts though

I once stood outside that station (yes, during business hours) for a solid half hour, banging on the door/windows. I called the main station downtown, and they didn't even have a current phone number for the substation. The number on the door didn't work. There were 9 cop cars parked outside.

I suppose anything is possible, but yes - more for transportation.

Maybe they should do like they do in Arizona and have drive through liquor (or beer) stores.
