Mine scarred land meets the EPA definition of brownfield.
I can't tell you how many times I heard about this from the females in the office this week. I didn't realize the place had that loyal of a following.Briarcliff Village just landed a HUGE tenant with regional draw.... Nell Hill's from Atchison, KS. The owner, Mary Carol Garrity is a respected author and nationally-syndicated columnist. She's kind of like the Martha Stewart of the midwest. They will start construction on a 25,000 sq. ft. building in January and be open by Fall 2007.
This is great news for Briarcliff.
Interestingly enough, I've been to Nell Hill's in Atchison several times with friends. I can't get into that stuff, but my friends sure do. I DO think that it will be a big draw for Briarcliff and Nell Hill's will get great business as well. I'm betting it also hurts their Atchison business. Every female I know loves Nell Hills except for me.Thrillcekr wrote: I had never heard of Nell Hills but I found a website for them: http://www.nellhills.com/
Personally, I can't wait until they open a Slappy The Wang's. I know Nota will be there demanding names.
If they had Kirklands, Sizzler, Dunkin Donuts and Zales would it really be much different?chrizow wrote: this project seems pretty nice. i am glad they are getting local and unique tenants (nell hills, piropos, latteland, tivol, etc.).
yes. the polar opposite. i prefer supporting local entrepreneurs and businesses over multinational corporations headquartered in distant states.Slappy the Wang wrote: If they had Kirklands, Sizzler, Dunkin Donuts and Zales would it really be much different?

I'd be surprised if very many people even knew about the event. A lot of people aren't aware that the place exists yet. They haven't done a very good job of publicizing their existence. I've yet to see anything about Briarcliff Village in any of the local rags so far other than a brief mention of some of the tenants in the Star.DaveKCMO wrote: did anyone go to the little celebration they had planned over the weekend? no hot briarcliff photo action?
Briarcliff in general is a secret to most of the metro.Thrillcekr wrote: I'd be surprised if very many people even knew about the event. A lot of people aren't aware that the place exists yet.

wasn't much of a secret to the guy who busted in both windows at tivol's last weekend.GRID wrote: Briarcliff in general is a secret to most of the metro.
That will change in a few years when they begin to widen I-29 from the loop to the split and build a new Paseo Bridge .
