Re: Library Lot & West Gene Leahy Block Redevelopment

It's looking more and more like the over-under bets should pertain to the duration this lot sits empty not how many floors a shaky rumored mid-high rise building will be. I'm just hoping the location alone will prevent this lot from sitting as long as the Lanoha site.
