Although I certainly have my reservations about the Gillespies, I'm thrilled that more human-size projects are coming to the avenue. This gas station is just a few blocks from my house and I cringe every time I see it. I wished something like this would happen, but didn't hold much hope...the avenue has so much potential and I hope this is the start of a trend. As you've said, LMich, most everything has been gobbled up and renovated, so new construction in this section of town is ripe. I hope they go with traditional brick architecture.
My real question is where are they going to fit the parking? It almost certainly would have to go underneath on a site that size? That seems expensive. Unless there are spots to be leased from the adjacent building.
