Maybe we need a "More Sidewalks" forum.

Since the new ordinance has been passed that if you build a new house you have to build a sidewalk with it, there's a bunch of random 20 foot long sidewalk in front of new house in the Nations. I'm happy that they are doing this but it would have been a game changer if this ordinance was put in to place 5 years ago when the neighborhood started to turn around.

Green Hills Mall expansion (3 stories) update:

Understand from a very reliable source that Zara, a European department store, will be part of the new section in the mall.  Zara sells clothing that is very European and would be considered a higher end than H & M and better quality.  It does seem odd that no official names of the new stores have been announced.

They likely will wait until the new year to announce anything.

Nothing will really be ready until this time next year, from what I've heard. Also the public would get confused and think they were coming this year. Even when they start announcing, i bet it will be a few at a time...drawn out, to keep up interest.

I will also be interested to see how many current tenants will relocate within the mall. It's often easier to simply move into a new space than renovate an existing one. I think it will be a fairly dismal Christmas for the mall. There are a lot of empty spaces (the old Restoration and 3/4 surrounding now vacant spaces) and they will want to avoid any massive work in the existing space during the holiday season.

This one seems to have slipped through the cracks from yesterday. A Waffle house is planned on the corner of Charlotte and 16th Ave where the Cricket store was. They are rehabbing the building so they do not have to build up to the street according to the UZO.

That's a great location for a waffle house!  Proximity to the cbd, and the increasing density that we all expect along Charlotte, it will never be not busy.

My hunch is that Waffle House could build 20 locations in or near the downtown loop and they'd all stay busy. Seems a bit surprising that they haven't already.

My 87 yo mother will certainly want to go when she's in town.  I'm still amazed that she loves Waffle House so much.

Madison Mill has a new buyer.  Third & Urban is under contract to purchase the 7.12-acre site property from owner Tom Patten and hopes to adaptively reuse the property’s existing buildings. The reinvention of the site will yield what will be called Sylvan Supply, with the address as 4101 Charlotte Ave. The Madison Mill industrial site is home to mill buildings constructed between 1923 and 1950.

I had Waffle House the morning of my wedding, which of course meant that by the time of the ceremony I was frantically pinching my butt cheeks together and meat-sweating profusely. Everyone thought I was just adorably nervous about the ceremony.

At least it wasn't Taco Bell.  You would have actually soiled yourself during the ceremony.

Is there any news around dates? 

[smeagolsfree]

Nothing at all right now. Ibdont think theybreally wanted what came out public, but when you file info with Metro all bets are off. We had heard about this a couple of weeks ago before the permits were filed.
