Took this quote from the Mission Reach thread to lead into a clip from mysa.com.
I guess this just solidifies statements like which Boquillas made;

Founded in 1920, Charles A. James Bicycle Co. has plans to move into a larger space later this year.
The downtown bicycle shop will stay in the area but is expected to move into a 2,300-square-foot space at 114 Broadway on Sept. 1, said Hank Estrada, the company's owner.

So after 25 years at his current location, current and increased demand has caused him to move into a space 3x the size of his current location.
and adtobias.... not sure if you were asking a question or just making a statement, but I'm assuming you were responding to SKW, and he was talking about Graham Weston working with developers, which was previously posted on this thread. We don't know "like what developments." because he has not announced them yet.
If you think we are making it up, I will repost it here with a quote from SAbizjournal.com

Quote:
Rackspace Hosting Inc. founder and chairman Graham Weston says he will forge partnerships with a dozen or more real estate developers over the next two years to further develop the city center into a livable, walkable urban environment that will attract and retain young professionals.
Weston, who owns downtown’s Weston Centre, says his plan — which he’ll unveil within the next six months — will involve “philanthropic capitalism” akin to Pace Foods billionaire Kit Goldsbury’s Pearl Brewery redevelopment or the Bass Brothers’ revitalization of downtown Fort Worth.

So if he is going to announce within the next six months, and this was printed in March, it shan't be long before we hear the details.
