Retail Strip on NE corner of Westport Rd and State Line

Post by Volker Dad »

The old Scott's Fitness place. I drove by today and saw construction workers inside. Anyone know what's going on?

It's kind of a weird place but I could imagine it being cool if done right.

I have been wondering the same thing. Construction has been going on there for a couple of months now and I haven't heard any word about what is going on there. Anyone know?

Something going on in the building on the corner last night that involved a big computer projection screen and banks of computer monitors. They had the shade mostly closed, so you couldn't really see what was going on, but it looked like they were setting up some sort of command center.

This is apparently the address where the Google Fiber announcement is taking place tomorrow. Rumored to be their new local HQ.

that would be a pretty cool location, assuming it would bring a decent number of employees to the area. could help spur investment along that corridor.

Wow! Pretty slick. Badass that they are serving food/drinks from Mud Pie there too. I might just have to stop by one of these days.
