Data centers felt cool for a while until we learned they basically just meant a big warehouse in the boonies Respectfully, this nu...

Re: Marylebone (3710 Leavenworth)
I know the owner personally. Good dude. Makes a mean drink. The name started out as a joke from the TV show new girl. On the show they play a drinking game called true American where there are no rules and everyone gets hammered. From what I have gathered from him the bar is an ode to the 1970s. Ya...

A bit outside of this CRA, but for lack of a better thread - does anyone know what is going on at 811 S. 48th Street? United Rent-all is long gone, and the new owner is removing all of the wood cladding from the brick portion of the building.

I wish they’d put some more thought into the design of the apartment building. It’s just a box with some holes cut into it for windows.

When the sale came up yesterday, a colleague mentioned condos. Normally I wouldn't take this at face value, but there is a zoning ordinance for this area on next week's city council agenda. A quick look in the municipal code is keeping me hopeful that it won't be a parking garage.
