Great story in today's Weekly about getting the tenants of DPAC up to speed before opening:

Another interesting fact is that Billy Manes and the crew at the Weekly continue to blow away what is supposed to be our newspaper of record with actual in-depth local journalism. Meanwhile, the Sentinel's news hole and best reporters continue to disappear.

interesting. the footprint of the events center looks like it will be just as big as the Citrus bowl-- if you follow Church St. and South St. to the horizon...

Hey, are you trying to tell me you don't like pictures of puppies?!? Who doesn't like puppies!?!

If you prefer kittens though, I hear there will be a full color supplement on Sunday with pictures of the cutest little kitties you've ever seen.

Edit so I don't spend another post on this: Did you see their website after they found out they had nudie pics of Elliot Spitzer's hooker? It was front page news for 2 or 3 days. Apparently they took some when she was down here and went to a Girls Gone Wild party. And if there is anything that sells better than pics of kitties, it's pics of...well, you know.

Not actually what I was thinking of, but for what she was showing, I suppose so...

I talked to the people from opac and they said they would start construction in the 2 quarter of 2009.

I thought they had to wait for FUMCO to be well underway with its new construction? The church has yet to see any money from the DPAC.

The Church's architect CDH Partners, http://www.cdhpartners.com/nextstep/referrals.html, showed the proposed campus rebuild to the congregation recently and I was told it was really exquisite.

I find the hard to believe, but anything is possible. It is now July, and we haven not seen a firm site plan, no renderings, no City approvals, they have not acquired the land, FUMCO is still there, and they have not met their fundraising goals.

[tc01]

Groundbreaking is set for July 25,2008 on the new event center!

That has a much bigger footprint than I was expecting.

[JRS1]

I met C.T. Hsu the other day. His firm is designing the garage. He said it will be very innovating ala egress and ingress. that's about the size of it.

[sunshine]

Is it just a pure parking garage or it will have retails at the ground level?

[GregoryMCSE]

Why havn't we seen a rendering of the proposed Citrus Bowl renovation. Has any archtectural firm even submitted a proposal or been hired?

[tc01]

They have some pictures of the Citrus Bowl.But I am not sure if it's the actual renderings.

The Citrus Bowl will be the last venue they will do. I think they will start construction some time in 2009 or 2010.

because government budgets are in crisis, and this is the project that has the least vocal constituents to report to with regard to progress would be my vote.

[tc01]

I really hope the Citrus Bowl look actually like this.
