Just updating those who haven't heard: Soon to be occuping the old VOM spot at 801 N. Orange Ave. is Green Day Cafe, its second location in Central Florida (or third if you count the old Taco Bell on Lee Rd. from which it moved to its current Winter Park locale.)

Couldn't agree more. Has that newer reporter quit doing the Ryan Seacrest tagline yet? That's when I gave up.

I just posted about this in the old 801 N. Orange Thread (you can see the old renderings there.) Here's 800 N. Orange's new look: http://library.constantcontact.com/download/get/file/1102989576106-70/800+N.+Orange+Ave..pdf I participated in the meetings with Ustler last time, and I'm very interested in the revival of this project (albiet glad I don't own a unit adjacent to the 800 N. Orange lot.) The only concern I have with this and every other project happening around here is parking.

wow; those shots are fantastic. i especially love the shot of magnolia. <3 i'll have to forward a link to these to a girlfriend of mine who lived in one of the houses across from urban rethink back in the late 90s. she'll appreciate it!

noticed tonight that there's all new tile on the front of the dolive, but it looks like the interiors are gutted. anyone have ideas of the plans for this building? lots of my young adulthood memories happened within those walls ... would be nice to see it brought to life again — even if not in the full-blown way that was once proposed.

this will be a lovely addition to parts "this side" of colonial. i hope it happens! thanks for sharing, de

palmtree, from where did you receive this email? i am interested in getting on that email list, as i live in uptown and would like to know of these meetings and projects, too!

lots of beams up now, so y'all may be right!

megayummo.com just reviewed pao gostoso, a brazillian bakery i mentioned in another thread on here. if you haven't been there, seriously you should check it out. saturday i had some "esfihas" (beef wraps) that were FANTASTIC!!!

thanks for the ucf med school pics; because of these, i was able to spot it during takeoff from mco to jfk on friday. that's a big hunk of land over there!

yahoo! a new tenant in the wpv! Press 101 Sandwich and Wine Bar is expanding to Winter Park. The Dr. Phillips-based restaurant signed a deal last month to open its second location in a 3,000-square-foot space in Winter Park Village. The new space will include the Starbucks that closed in 2008 as well as Uberbot, which closed earlier this year, said Paul Rutledge, executive vice president of Columbus, Ohio-based landlord Casto Lifestyle Properties...

does anyone know how the theater selected its initial movies and how it plans to do so in the future? it seems the theater would use use its first showings as a way to establish its desired market or showcase its approach to planned diversity. if this is, indeed, what's happening, wow. don't get me wrong -- i'm a huge jason statham fan, but two statham films and a selection of which 60% i own on dvd? as it stands, i can't wait to go, but the thought of re-watching favorites (with the exception of old, OLD classics) on the big screen is holding me back. am i in the minority here? (yes, i know there are a couple of new releases, but the features are overwhelmingly available on dvd.) i am also disappointed because it advertised sugar, yet no sugar.

http://www.virginolivemarket.com/ this is the newest restaurant to open up at 801 n orange ave on the other side of shin sushi where the coffee shop was. virgin olive market is pretty tasty if anyone's up this way.
