I was downtown yesterday and watched as Cooley was paving over the lot between the library and Knapps. There's no trees or islands in the asphalt lot, something I would have thought would be required.
I would have rather seen this become retail/restaurant space given the location, but it is nice to see MSUFCU opening a location downtown. This also ensures that the renovation will top-notch.
Wow, I always thought that Mill Supplies sign was just a remnant of a long-gone business. I guess that will open up another slot for restaurant or club in that stretch, now I wish that they would open up the ground floor of that green building by the river to retail.
The OPRA for MSUFCU is in this weeks council agenda and it says that renovations are estimated at $2.9 million, and they expect to complete the project by January 31st, 2011. That's a lot sooner than I was expecting, with that kind of time frame I'd expect them to be starting on it just about any time now.
In other news the they are going to be inviting graffiti artists to tag the Deluxe Inn July 30th through August 1st and at sometime after that the fire department is going to use the building for training.
