Hey, great idea.

Back to the topic...

I may or may not be able to confirm with certainty that a certain Main Street food emporium will be relocating into a certain (this) project, and may or may not be looking for a partner to maybe do something with their property.

I haven't been, but merely taking my perspective from dealing with Chinese colleagues and talking to chinese friends.

Yeah, bear in mind that I'm really only talking about life in China. The world market is a different beast and localized generalizations really can't apply.

I'm not calling the Chinese lazy or unproductive or any silly thing like that. I'm just telling people here what anybody with a pair of eyes can see if they come here. Standards are lax to say the least.

Anyway, I've taken this board way too far off topic. Do we have any pictures of progress available?

Why? Garbage food run by crazy people.

BuildUpWpg · #**3369** Posted **Feb 14, 2019, 5:42 PM**

I thought with the warmer weather this week that there would have been some work done on the elevator core. There hasn't. Just a half dozen workers finishing the roof of 330 Main.

I lived steps from there and did eat there occasionally. The food was really not good.

I took my kid there the whole time she was growing up. It was a good place to grab a cheese dog and fries and gravy.

Kelekis was considered by some to be an "institution", which probably meant some of their food may have been over-rated, but it was a decent local place for a nosh. I just thought it kind of amusing to suggest an old "Main Street" name for a restaurant at 360 Main. Didn't know it would inspire troll-fury!

No way to do what? Sorry buddy, you lost me. My Chinese isn't good enough to know what that could mean colloquially. Also, this may surprise you (it surprised me) but two cities right next to each other may have their own languages. For example, in my city "Da hui/xiao hui" means "left/right" respectively. But, as far as I know, only in my city and only when driving. (big turn/small turn. If you think about it, it becomes rather obvious when driving)

The second part of your question has not been figured out.

This is really good news. Earl's is a big time player that will draw a lot of attention to this property.

And hopefully they partner up with someone ambitious... obviously the city demanded more from their past efforts here, maybe a partner helps make that happen.

I am not sure how to add videos from Twitter, but on the 300 Main Twitter feed - the "Super Crawaler" climbing up a floor...

Not a sushi lover, prefer basic foods.. and thought Kelekis was best of its style compared to others.Home made soups, pies, delicious quality meats in their foods,unique fries. It is like Jeannes..some like it others do not. I liked them both.

Riverman · #**3380** Posted **Feb 25, 2019, 8:11 PM**

So the Super Crawler is not a moveable form but a work platform?
