GRDadof3: As long as you give credit to the source for the photos you post, I don't mind you reposting them here or there. In regards to this building... I don't believe an addition on the Wealthy Street side would be approved by HPC, because a new addition to a historic building should preserve the building's historic character. Since Wealthy Street is considered the higher public right of way, an addition is more appropriate to the side or the rear, and based on the placement of this building, a rear addition is not an option.

Wealthy Street Station.

A building on the southern section of the parking lot was approved in 2010 before the renovation of Vivant. As a neighborhood, we are looking at parking programs for residents along the business districts.

Wow, there is some really rude language and untrue statements being thrown around about the Wealthy Market and the Baxter neighborhood in this thread... For those of you interested in bringing your concerns to the owners of the Wealthy Market, they are more than willing to meet with you. They will be at the East Hills neighborhood office at 131 Eastern Ave SE next Monday at 9am for those of you who would like to participate in the discussion, please let me know.

Parking is a good problem to have in a district with no public parking lots. However, most of the employees that drive to work in this district park as close as possible to their work.

Hi, I was hoping you could define what "normal meals" means to you? Also in regards to a "known quantity" are you stating that quality doesn't matter as long as the portion is large? x99: My apologies for jumping in late on your conversation on this thread, however in response to your post on July 27, 2010 at 6:18pm, I completely disagree with you and would rally against the bulldozing of houses for parking lots. I seriously don't think you understand the meaning of "neighborhood fabric" and I pray that you never acquire (in your own words) "a row of crappy, small houses..." to dispose of for parking lots. "...Since many of the Wealthy corridor areas are still less than desirable (particularly on the south side) the properties bordering the area should be able to be acquired cheaply. This only works with foresight: The developer doing it before the development goes in. So acquired, the properties could be bulldozed and parking put in. This does nothing to affect a good street front, and has very little impact on the residential fabric. A row of crappy, small houses is disposable..." -x99 However, your statements regarding parking permits for neighborhood residents has been brought up before and I believe that it'll be within a couple of years for this program to start. Warren Ave SE off of Cherry & Fairmount is a prime example for this program. Best, TripleG

We're working on planning a pre-development lunch-n-learn on this proposed project. I hope to have more details in the next couple of weeks. As far as the site location, this is a catalyst project. Building the market at this site will have a profound impact on development within the SOW-NOF corridor. In other news... We're in the planning stages for three major lunch-n-learn events to be held over the next four months. If you build it, we will come! Cheers, TripleG

Way to catch up with the conversation Tony.

Here is my viewpoint about learning experiences as we forge ahead in this experiment we love to call ArtPrize.

The Shop Hop tonight is going to be a great event. I hope to see Planeteer's shop hopping around! All of us in Uptown are looking forward to seeing you and your friends at the Shop Hop tonight.
