Ughh.. I hope you guys are being sarcastic and I am the idiot not picking up on it. But just in case here is what is going on.
Glendale 180 was a river walk entertainment plan stretching from Cherry to Colorado Blvd. Everything was going to get demolished but the office building. It was proposed by Glendale not the stupid rug store. Glendale tried using eminent domain on the carpet store who refused to sell even though they were offered something like $14 million for that little POS that I have even seen a car parked at to buy anything. Glendale was also very stupid by only securing something like $200 mill. Just to buy out the carpet store and the hotel would have taken up about $50 mill. Which would have only left $150 mill for a $250 mill dollar project. So Glendale 180 was scrapped but even still the carpet store is suing the Glendale (and I think Colorado) for the use of eminent domain and the labeling of the store a urban blight (which it is). They are using this lawsuit to intimidate city officials to change zoning regulations so they can build a 50 story Iraq style brick crap whole called the Death Star.
