I noticed a big backhoe is parked at the REOTOWN sign corner lot. It might be just being used for the BWL wall project or maybe sign of the start of the development on that corner starting soon. I think I have read they wanted to start this spring.

I was excited to see all the traffic cones on this part of Pennsylvania Ave, in hopes of seeing a really bad section being repaved.[I know I should look at the repaving plan] It was the flower project which is very good, think how nice it would look…

Barnes Avenue School was a big part of the neighborhood along with the St. Casimir School all the kids stayed in the neighborhood for school. I'm not sure if any of the students at the El Shabaaze School are from the neighborhood. I never see any st…

The new bridge is very nice looking it will be fun to use it. Over in Scott Woods, I saw where they cleared the path for the drain, and it really did not look so bad. There were a lot of fallen dead trees that have been removed which actually look…

Thank you for the interesting information, I believe most of the neighborhood in that area was developed in the 1910s and '20s, my Dad grew up on Delevan Street and went to Barnes Ave, which was built in 1919. There is a really nice house at 1814 De…

This is great news. I have been waiting to hear about this one since I moved back here in '15, it really is a nice building and finally, it is going to get a new life. [I hope]

Just a note from REOtown, they seem to be beefing up parking enforcement on S. Washington Ave. I am not sure if there is a time limit for the 1000 block up, I know there is not one for the 900 blocks, there has been a parking enforcement person down…

I agree, look at these bricks still in place after decades of use as the foundation for the asphalt paving. Properly installed I believe bricks are less susceptible to making potholes because they do not fall apart in freezing weather and can allow …

As a kid, I went to some events like pancake suppers in this building. I think it was called the Macedonian Hall[could be wrong!] like the Polish Hall up the street, is one of the older buildings on W. Mt Hope. I am looking forward to driving on thi…

I was pointing out that it seems unfortunate that they did not include all of the homes up there. While I am sure there was not going to be any homes selling on that street the homes do have value and are taxed, I was thinking that this development …

I was in this neighborhood yesterday looking at a nice little house for sale on Butler Blvd. There are a lot of nice houses and some that could use some work. In all, it is a pretty nice area, if the city would pave the streets that would sure help.…

That seems wrong to me, business is business I guess. Who is ever going to buy a house up there, I would hope they get their property taxes reduced.

I meant leveling not leaving!

I traveled west down Michigan Ave the other day and I noticed that the hotel will stand out quite prominently, as the neighboring buildings are set back and along with the tracks do not block the view. It could look pretty cool. I was noticing also…

Today at the LSJ.com site they talk about the Park Place development. It is confusing to me, as to why they have changed the plans so radically and come up with something less appealing and much smaller. Have "market forces" changed so much, is it t…

The hut that burned and is now demolished was the smaller hut-building next to the larger hut on the trailside. The trailside hut is where they have the summer BBQ once a year which is the only time I see activity there. I often wonder what's in the…

Thank for the information. I remember the drill press out front, it is such a great building I'm surprised it is still standing. The building next to the river trail is occupied by a flooring company which they are using as a warehouse. I would put …

I think they watch the posts here. Today there is also one of their 'Projects to Watch' articles. It is kind of interesting that they did not cover all the projects, that we have more than six big projects going up here is very impressive to me.

That building is in pretty good shape but seems large for just a bar/restaurant. If they do move down there it will be a challenge, it is kind of in a hidden area most folks would not know about unless they use the river trail. If they create a real…

Up at the substation, they have removed a lot of fencing giving a better view of the wall. There is a huge pile of black topsoil near the new garden, and what I hope is just the start of planting there are three tiny new trees along Malcolm X and on…
