I didn't realize it was that long ago Homer's moved. It seems more recent to me. I think Stokes has done a great job but this isn't so much a critique on Stokes as it is another powers-that-be rant. I don't think anyone wants another "Scaffolding Museum" like the Iler Building was (empty f...

Party rooms are a huge business for restaurants. I don't think sprawling is the correct term. Besides, that bay where City Limits finally moved too sat empty for a couple years and half of it is still empty. Besides Stokes having a party room gives people more opportunities to come to the old ma...

City Limit is now in part of the old Homers space; Homer's took up a spot vacated by It Flys. Stokes is expanding into where City Limit used to be, so kinda yeah this does decrease the amount of draws in the Old Market. Like Globochem said, it may be good for Stokes but not the Old Market. I think t...

DTO Luv

Well did the diversity in Old Market offerings increase? No. Not to start a shi+storm but this is just "sprawling" businesses in the Old Market.

DTO Luv

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this. Stokes is already there so I'd prefer to see something new.

DTO Luv

Thank you every body. :) Streets, I haven't heard anything about NuStyle and this but that sign is there clear as day for something. I find it weird that with the old Sheraton is finding a second life as Hotel Deco, yet the neighboring Barker and Lerner buildings on either side of it have failed to ...

DTO Luv

Well that's good to know, certainly a step in the right direction.

DTO Luv

Well I think you seriously misunderstand the point of my complaining. I know it's not going to bring anything back, I do it in hopes that things like that don't keep happening.

And sadly, the Hilton isn't even 9 stories. It's only 8.

DTO Luv

No one is saying 26-story Zesto's but it does seem like a pathetic use of the land to preserve some level of nostalgia that the actual owners of the event could care less about.

DTO Luv

That design is so shi++y. Is it possible that everyone finally agrees on something? I don't think it the best design, but I don't think its as horrible as everyone says. I have been to hotels in other cities where the walk from the lobby to the room was even worse. Granted, I would have liked the...

That's what I was thinking. If it's still the same one I still think it's pretty abysmal.

I'll be checking out the place tonight for the one and only time I'll ever go. A friend has a free ticket.

DTO Luv

That design is so shi++y. I used to work there in the garage and people would always complain about the Hilton especially in cold weather. It's supposedly the 'nicest' hotel in town but it it very user-unfriendly. The garage is not enclosed so when the weather was bad people would complain about hav...

Permanent or temporary?

Ok, I'm all for another place to dance downtown but is restaurant by day-nightclub at night really the best business model? It sounds good on paper like "Buffet/Strip club" but not really a winning formula. I never went to Irie to eat or club so I can't really say how it was, however I wou...

I've lived Downtown for almost Â years now and I wouldn't live anywhere else in the city. I don't think you can go wrong living Downtown. It's much easier to go out and do something than it is living in other parts of the city. As far as apartments it may help to narrow places down if you have some ...

DTO Luv

Ok, this is a clear attempt to dig up something and start a flame war. Can someone who actually has moderating powers do something about this?

DTO Luv

You may just have it in the wrong format. I load my avatars to tinypic because it automatically puts it into 3 different web formats. I can't ever remember which one is right, but I'd try loading them there and using the links it gives you.

DTO Luv

There's a huge difference between a loading zone for a restaurant or I don't know, concert hall, then there is for a private residence. I know when Urban Wine Co. wanted to expand their patio they ran into a similar situation of reserved/leased spots for tenants in the building. It wasn't public par...

Downtown condo owners will be loosing parking spaces. I was just informed that the 18 parking spaces on 11th st, west side of the Ford lofts building will not have it's parking lease renewed. Surprisingly this is not based on revenue. Statutes prohibit the city from making money on parking meters. ...

DTO Luv

Duh,

I knew it sounded familiar but that's because I thought it may have been rumored before. Guess not.

Antiques and Fine Art regrettably closed last week for issues unrelated to any building plans. The owner of the store is a fascinating man who ran arguably the greatest antique store in the middle of America. It is a very sad loss. I always wanted to check that place out but it always looked clos...

DTO Luv

I was out taking pictures today and noticed that the Securities Building on 16th and Farnam has a NuStyle Development sign on. Also the antique shop that had been in the building for nearly 11 years has closed in the past few days. Anyone know anything? 16th St needs all the help it can get.

DTO Luv

How many parking space/garages do we have downtown that are only utilized between 8a-5p M-F? Seems a permanent circulator bus (like the temporary one coming for the CWS) and opening up all of these spots to people other than the commuters could darn near eliminate the problem. I walk by these empty...

DTO Luv

I haven't seen that sign in person but anything is better then the old purple Best Western sign they used to have. Barf.

DTO Luv

I would kill for North Downtown to be full of buildings like these. They are ok, but sometimes I feel like too many of the buildings that have been built in North DT so far, don't handle parking in a very urban way. I think this is a good start but as it is too many of these buildings look and func...

I've heard talk that a local restaurant in another part of the city is looking at relocating to Downtown. I know the restaurant but don't think I should say right now. I think it would be a huge get for Downtown and a good move for this place though.

Another busy day for the thugs. You act as if everyone that has a gun is loosely federated and makes plans to go out and shoot. I don't know why everyone is surprised by the shootings here. No one can or wants to address any of the real problems so it's going to be a reality for the foreseeable fut...
