Well, that means they have made a bit more progress in clearing the site. I guess construction must be right around the corner.

I don't think it was the old Chain Drive that burned down. It was the pedicab place next door. Other articles identified the building as being at 502 Willow Street. Chain Drive was at 504 Willow.

It's good to see that demolition at the site has started back up again. It's been a while since the two houses closest to CC were torn down.

The planning commission passed (no surprise) the request to re-subdivide the site for the towers.

Unless it was arson, in which case that would cause significant delays.

I "respectively" disagree with you in that an arson fire on the site will cause any delay (let alone "significant") whatsofingever (sic).

Bro, an arson fire would require a police investigation. That alone would incur significant delay.

No way bro. If the groundbreaking was Tuesday and the only structure left on site burned down Monday night; then there might be a delay for a couple days. Otherwise bro, no delay. Bro.

Bro, so when this thing finally breaks ground in six months to a year, we can blame APD for that extended arson investigation?

Everybody who's said "bro" or "bruh" here unironically, please pass your man cards to the front.

Yeah, I can't get away with saying that word. Plus, my hat looks nerdy and doesn't fit right when I turn it around.

I'm gay. I never had a "man card" in the first place, and I'm very much using those words ironically.

That's all the more reason to have a "man card" lol get it???

ANYWHO, you know it's getting bad when conversation moves into light argument banter. A sign that this project needs to get going soon.
