KristinDaugherty Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So I live in Chateaux Dijon, and my balconies overlook the empty lot that was formerly Pilgrim Elementary. This morning, a bulldozer crew showed up and yanked out all the oak trees along the Mustard House fence line, including a huge old one that shaded both balconies gorgeously and now my electric bill will be liek woah but anyway ... what's going in over there? How do y'all find out what's being built where? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinDaugherty Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hey, thanks! Wonder what that street is. That's not Richmond that the car in front is driving on. We don't have elliptical esplanades. And the little cross-street just behind that car, that can't be Barrington, because there's already a building on the other side of that intersection, where Pete's Fine Meats is. I guess that'd be an entrance drive to the complex? I also guess my building is offstage in that picture, further left.How do y'all find this stuff? Do you just search chron.com?

It doesn't have to be completely accurate regarding the surrounding landscape. I have no idea about this complex - just offering a response to your comment.

KristinDaugherty Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 This is true, and I forgot how many concept drawings don't always bear a 100% resemblance to eventual reality. Construction proceeds apace; ground is bulldozed and there are stakes in it here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Got a couple of drive by pics of this. Would have more and better pics but my Zabaks was getting cold. Avenue R is the name. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
