sounds like you should be a big fan of P+L if mediocre chains are what you anticipate.

Because "long-anticipated" doesn't mean the same thing as "eagerly-anticipated". And he was making a joke. Other than that, you were 100% correct as always.trailerkid wrote: how am i wrong?
Buy a dictionary if you're going to be a prick all of the time.

Re: 50s/Main development
Anybody know why they decided to tear down the old gas station? I mean it sat like that for years. Why now all of the sudden? Is there something going to happen on that corner?

Re: 50s/Main development
The owner probably caught on to DST's strategy. Why pay taxes on land and improvements when they only have to pay taxes on land by tearing down the building? Besides, tearing down the building probably increased the value of the property.

wonder if there was a tax break/economic incentive to do this. Hope this lot can turn into something more than the garden across the street. Next to go...the hair salon (hopefully).PumpkinStalker wrote: Plus the soil testing/clean up if any leaked over the years.

From this week's Biz Journal:

Re: 50s/Main development
Maybe it won't look so traditional. Also, would be nice if it were at least 5 stories. At least the parking deck is internal at Mission Farms. That would be a nice feature.
