Thanks for that update Murph!

Five Guy's serves really good burgers apparently. One just oppened in Pier Park in Pc and my cousin really likes it. I've wanted to try them out for a while but I do not know why I haven't.

[new-to-tally]

^I've eaten at one in Jacksonville. The burgers are GREAT. It's no frills eating, but the food is good.

I have a few questions...

Ok, so my friend drove by the GMC dealership on Mahan, and said that demolition has started on the lot. This is for sure going to be a Target Correct?

Also, Demolition is well underway on the site of the old Winn-Dixie on Timberlane road.. This is going to be an Atlanta Bread Company right??

Seems to me it is going to be a bit more than an Atlanta Bread Co. TD. According to the site plan, there are a few other parcels slated to be built on the site. They're calling it "Market Plaza".

THANKS FLA! Can u post the link again to the online site plan tool? thx

Hey, Can anyone tell me what time it is?

Anyway- I saw an HHGregg billboard on Appalachee today. It said simply, "THings are going to change..." I think. Subtle.

The ACE Hardware near Wally World has had a ton of activity lately and is now hiring. I saw a meeting taking place inside the other night. it looks like shelves are starting to take up thier space on the floors too.

Looks like this project is back in...again.

Lakeshore Drive Hotel and Office (TSP080013) located on 6.72 acres on east side of Lakeshore Drive West, approximately 500 feet north of North Monroe Street. The proposed project is for the construction of a 54,000 square foot office building and a 113-room, 68,000 square foot hotel. The site is zoned OR-3 (Office Residential District 3).

This is proposed for the east side of Lakeshore, behind the convenience store that is at that corner now. However the parcel does not go all the way to I-10, but I would think the hotel could be seen from Monroe and possibly I-10, especially the signage.

The above I would classify as a "bad" project for the times. I don't like the "product placement" nor do I like the fact that they are attempting Office-Hotel before we get our Floridan off the ground. The Floridan folks need to get a move on, perhaps we can stall this one a tad until they get their act together downtown.

Ha! I'd say I'm pro-growth!

It just happens that Downtown needs to be our focus for these type of projects. More people lodging downtown is always a positive, and so are more office buildings.

I am With FL on this too... i am a big fan of pulling develpment into the core. But, if it is done well with some visability from the 6 lane interstate.... it could help remind folks we are here. I hope its taller than it is wide....

[poonther]

if I recall 500 ft. north of Monroe on Sharer Road. I'd have to see the plan of course, but this seems like a rival project to the Floridan on paper, just near the interstate, and I'd rather it be built downtown.

Sheraton 4 Points

Set to Open February 7, 2008.

[Go Gators]

^ You should do a ride by and look inside. From what you can see from the outside, this hotel looks great. Four Points are usually very nice. Dont judge the book by its cover, because from the outside, the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead doesnt look that great either.

[Florida]

I might just take your advise and do that... which is why I was careful to say, "From the outside".

[Go Gators]

No, I agree. From the outside, it still has a retirement home look to it. Bue I think you'll be happy with the inside. Very urban.
