Brewery Emperial plans to join the East Crossroads brewery boom
http://www.pitch.com/FastPitch/archives ... ewery-boomThompson has worked as the brewmaster at McCoy’s Public House since its 1997 opening, but he’s about to make his mark here. You can already see it: a “BE” he has added to one of the windows in white paint. This tagged-up address is the future home of Brewery Emperial, a four-vessel, 15-barrel brewhouse that Thompson says he’ll open in August with Room 39 restaurateur Ted Habiger and friend Rich Kasyjanski.

Aren't they just painting the building with the billboards growing out of it?

Re: Misc Crossroads News
When I was taking advertising classes in journalism school, we often had to draw people in our ads. This was back in the day when we rendered our ads by hand (no computers).
Anyway, my advertising professor once commented that all the women in my ads looked like Loretta Swit from M*A*S*H.

Empty is far preferable to a half-assed solution.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Oh, it must be right on Main then, because we know Americans will not walk more than half-a-block.
Is it that formerly-proposed hotel near the Freighthouse buildings that fronted the Main Street Viaduct?
