1. Looks like site prep has commenced on the Franklin-Portland Gateway Phase II.

2. The old Franklin Street Bakery building (next to Electric Fetus) is being demolished. Anybody know what's going up?

3. A neat 1904 building at 628 E. Franklin that's been boarded up since I moved here is finally having some work done on it.

All pretty minor projects, I know, but its nice to see the continued development of this area.
Wow. I used to live at 1810 Columbus, and to imagine that neighborhood as getting a facelift is very encouraging. I mean, there was always "Lots of action around Franklin Avenue and 35W", but it usually involved gunfire.

I also used to work at Liquor Depot. I guess with the Metrodome fading away, Ms. Kathy won't have to rent the parking lot out to sportsfans anymore.

I love this thread. I still have mixed feelings about leaving in the first place, more than ten years ago. One question though,



Are these still around and are they still so classy?
