Re: New police station set to open at 77th and Prospect

I've been wondering what they were putting in there. This is good news for that area.

Anybody know what the plan is for the old site? It will be a shame to have this huge space just sit empty...

Re: Old brick silo at I-35 & SW Blvd.

Their site says of the brewery:

"The Southwest Boulevard & Genessee site is slated for future renovation and development."

So if it's for sale... what are these plans they speak of, I wonder.

Re: Neighbors Help Catch Brookside Robbers

Thanks... I'm in complete agreement. We are planning on having a block party in mid-October so that we can all exchange info and set up an e-mail distribution list. That way we can keep one another abreast of goings-on in the neighborhood.

Re: Neighbors Help Catch Brookside Robbers

Not sure what your asking... Last Thursday a woman three doors down from us heard a loud banging sound and walked out to see three guys trying to break our front door down. I'm assuming because they were interrupted that they were pissed and decided to come back. This time they tried to go through t...
