The city of EL just can't catch a break around here. The City Center fiasco dragged on for many years and still isn't resolved since the developer has not yet built the affordable/senior housing component, now their Evergreen property keeps coming back to bite them. Add in the small apartment development over Showroom Shine that never materialized along with the development slated for the site of the original Bigby and Crunchy's. The area seems ripe for more change, I'd think the dominos would fall eventually.
Noticed fencing around the area when I walked by on Wednesday and wondered what was happening. Apparently nothing anytime soon.
Historical comment that the EL police district that encompasses most of downtown stops at Abbot, west of Abbot is another district. Wonder if those get reworked eventually if development continues to the west.
