Yes, thanks so much. The article was from a year ago. I wonder if it'll ever happen?? If it does, my property value will sky rocket!

I too saw lights on last night. It also appears that the scaffolding has moved up a level.

I share your e[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']nthusiasm on this[/font]. I live on 5th and can't wait for this building to get done! I have seen them power washing the sides lately even on sundays. I hope though that they dont drag their feet this time around.

The 5th and Cecil B. Moore (pallet factory) location is on hold. City Paper or the PW ran an article on it last week. I sure hope this gets approved. I invested in the area last year and see a lot of potential in this area.
