Richard Branson is in the Epstein Files.

And?

A lot of people are in there for simply having emailed the guy, and he knew basically everyone. Either way it’s totally off topic.

Ahh ok - I don't watch the news anymore.

He asked Epstein to bring his "harem" to his private island. It sounds to me like you don't really want to think too hard about this, which is understandable. It's not an easy subject to talk about.

On the upside, this hotel wasn't built with that brand in mind, and rebrands happen all the time... hopefully we won't be seeing that name around for long.

Back to the block behind the Russell building, I am really excited to see the plans for that. The gulch, at least in one spot, will be completely filled in between Castleberry Hill and South Downtown, which could mean a lot for bringing some vibrancy back there.

We got the first images of the next development parcel of Centennial Yards, which is "European-inspired"

Nice. What happened to the two story hotel that was supposed to be across the street from the firestation in castle berry hill?

Since these are not condos, I would rather have the Amtrak station instead.

There's plenty of space left for an Amtrak station north of MLK and south of Marietta Street. I am still holding out for the lot north of the constitution building, because there's a punchout panel under Forsyth that would allow an underground connection straight into Five Points Station. I keep hearing someone is trying to build a data center there... truly hoping that mess falls through. It would be such a waste.
