s3mh Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 There is an application for a COA before HAHC for this property. Mostly cosmetic work on the exterior. It looks like they might try to get a restaurant in there judging from the renderings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its crazy that there are places that charge this much for a simple popsicle. And donuts! Donuts cost $3.00 at some of the newer places. $.75 at Shipleys. Lets decorate a donut and see who is crazy enough to buy this..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree on the dounts though. Much prefer Shipleys than Morningstar donuts down the street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcat84 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nope. Certainly don't trust that. I'll pay $10 for a popsicle if it means not having to eat the Bicycle Man's mysterious confections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 $90 steaks and $300 bottles of Bordeaux at Pappas Bros. are pretentious. Taking your kids to La Cantera for the weekend is pretentious. $3 for a Popsicle or donut is not frugal, but it is not pretentious either. We are very lucky to have fun things like Hugs and Donuts and Steel City Pops in the neighborhood. No one's budget is being busted by the occasional treat at these places. They really make something that is special and worth a few extra bucks. If you are not into the whole foodie thing, that is fine. But the appreciation of good food is not some arbitrary thing that rich people do to show off their wealth. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont worry about prices especially if its a healthy option, but this is a popsicle. So I have an option to pay more or less for sugar. I think Ill keep that on a lower level. My opinion of course. I could care less how much money you have or what you are worth my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springcityparts Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Community Impact reported fitness facility Mayweather Boxing will be opening up at this development as well. Build out for La La Land Kind Cafe is almost complete. Ran into some of the workers taking pictures around the trail and they told me it should be ready to open in 3-4 weeks. Central City Co-Op (currently on 420 E 20th St) is closing its doors this Sunday and moving to an undisclosed location. I’m going to type into existence that they are moving to M-K-T (based on absolutely nothing). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
