The owner mentioned he wanted to target the lunch crowd for the most part. He's shooting to start fixing the place up sometime in December. This is when that side of Main Street is supposed to be complete.

It would be great for Springfield to see something finally work in that space.
I just ask...no, I beg... for good food, good staff, and constant hours.

Btw, the former Draper Studios space at 8th & Pearl has been purchased. The new owner's plan is to turn the space into an art gallery with a limited food menu (ex. serving sandwiches while people purchase artwork). Right now, I don't know when this new gallery will open.

But there is no word right now as to what, if anything will happen to the 9th and Main Space.
While the key positive note is the removal of the primary stumbling block to Springfield's progress, its still a shame that such a great space destroyed so many people's fortunes.
And no word what is going on with the artists at the Collier building.
Is anyone in the neighborhood stepping forward to offer alternative space?

Has the foreclosure process worked itself out already? From what I understand, it looks like the city will end up with the 9th & Main space.

Several lis pendens, foreclosures, and a delay for auction come up on adjacent parcels under the same umbrella of ownership. There is an LP from April on the 9th & Main property (legal description: L 9, 10 B 51 Springfield), but from only a cursory and quick scan of property descriptors, no other judgments or actions tied to that particular property.
I, too, heard the rumor of the city ending up with the corner property. Any verified news?
I'd love to see something done with these spaces, but the economy is tough for new business starts.
