Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
There was a picture in the RTD today showing a new rendering of the proposal. It looks like 4 to 5 story buildings would line Cary & 14th and 10+ story buildings would be towards the center of the block. It looked good to me.

It sounds like if the local ownership group has its way, we'll be seeing a new Shockoe Bottom proposal soon.
One can only hope. I'll buy season tickets if they move downtown.

Flack, do you think AirTran LGA service will bite into JB's JFK flights?
I've already booked one half of a NYC trip using AirTran for November. Flying up with USAir and flying back with AirTran. Each had the cheapest flight on the days I'm flying.

From Richmond.com Article:
I saw where several buildings have been demolished on East Main and 6th streets and the area is roped off for a development called Centennial Tower. What is going on with this project?Michael Monahan
Henrico
Centennial Tower, a $180 million project, will stand 30 stories tall and include upscale retail and office space, a 122 room boutique-style hotel, 90 furnished short-term stay corporate suites, 250

And she elaborates on restaurant items we have discussed on this thread. Namely that PESCADOS, the popular Midlothian fish place will soon open a second location in Oregon Hill at 626 China Street; confirms that GIBSON's at the National hopes to be operating in July, and mentions that LA PETITE FRANCE is no more.
Thanks for all the updates Burt! Unfortunately, I don't see PESCADOS opening anytime soon. From what I can tell, no work has begun.

Does anybody know of a good place for pick-up basketball games (after 5PM) in Richmond? I know the VCU courts near Cherry & Cary was a great place but that area is currently under construction for the new VCU gym.
-
Attendance at Braves games at the Diamond is dismal. Most games have averaged less than 2,500 spectators (the record for the season thus far is about 5,000.)
If they had stopped bickering and built a ball park in the Bottom a couple of years ago, I bet a quarter the triple A Braves would be averaging 8,000+ as well as attracting game-goers to the Shockoe Bottom retail/restaurant scene.
Couldn't agree with you more!! Burt, I'm glad you're back.

Good find! This is right across from the proposed Raven's View project
http://richmondcitywatch.com/modules/galle...aven_s_view.JPG
There is a picture of this building advertising 52,000 SQ/FT of available space on the corner. Just noticed it today.
-
Have they begun moving the old brick stable building to the corner of the soccer field block yet? That should be interesting.
I believe it's been moved. Linden Street was/is closed down for the move.

Barriers and fencing have been erected around the Old City Auditorium (Cherry & W. Cary) for construction of the new VCU rec. center.

For the first 2 months of the year RIA has 507,918 passengers while NIA has 491,987 passengers! I would think Norfolk would pull ahead over the summer months but who knows. This might be the year we overtake Norfolk! A lot of people are driving here from the Fredericksburg area that used to use Reagan and Dulles.
I flew into the airport on Monday evening (on a completely packed flight on AA from Dallas) at 5PM and I've never seen it so busy. The atrium area was packed and there were ton's of people all over the place!
-
It appears that the "Rendezvous" signs on Broad St. a few doors down from Twenty Seven have been removed.
Also, as mentioned in Style Weekly today Hollywood Grill has closed. Rumor is that it might become a seafood restaurant/store. If the seafood is fresh I think this would be a great addition to Oregon Hill.
-
Amen!
Double Amen! Bring retail downtown!!
-
Is this the old Konsta's building?
Yes.
-
I don't think anything has been submitted to the city yet. I noticed they've taken the advertising boards off of the fence and the demo'ed area has been graveled over. Work is still continuing inside and outside on the building at 6th and Main. I bet the fence comes down for the sales center to open in that building, but can't confirm it....
The barriers have come down and the sidewalks are open again.

Hopefully our city can get some good ideas from yall's great city

A SAXBYS COFFEE HOUSE will also move into the Monroe Park Apartment Building at the northeast corner of Franklin and Belvidere streets. The downtown location will cater to the student population at nearby VCU as well as others in burgeoning Monroe Ward.
It's already open, I need to check it out one day.
-
Damn it! This is the kind of stuff that doesn't need to happen. Somehow RIC has to do a better job on checking prices and being competitive. Sorry you're going to have to fly to Raleigh. You should have booked it when the prices were good!
eandslee: If it makes you feel better me and the better half have booked flights from RIC for 4 separate trips this year. On every occasion RIC was the cheapest for the entire region (including DC, Williamsburg, Norfolk, etc.). Fairs are very good compared to other cities.

Yea. How about it? Has anybody checked out INFUZION which supposedly opened last night (Sat. 12/15)?
JSI, did you go upstairs at DELUX, and did you try out the food as well as bar offerings?
Yep, that's where the crowd I was hanging out with stayed. They have a really nice fire place near the back upstairs. They also have three cool ceiling features that slowly change colors. Also, there was about a 5 minute wait to get in at midnight because they were at capacity. Nope, didn't get a chance to try the food but will let you know when I do.
-
I went to DELUX last night for drinks and had a great time. The place was amazing. They've done a great job turning the old building into a very trendy modern bar/restuarant. Anybody attend INFUZION's grand opening?
-
There are a couple of new signs on the fencing with sales contact information for retail, commercial and residential. I was running so I didn't write it down but one would think if somebody called we could get pretty accurate information.

Welcome cmorrisette...

You are correct Burt, it is on the North side of Broad in the building immediately to the east of the Rite Aid.
