Downtown Hotel to be Restored?

[Ocklawaha]

One would think that the last thing you would want is 'proof' of the whiskey you've drunk Ock.  Neither the medical or the highway safety establishments would appreciate the shock to their systems.

Now Stephen, you do realize that my car has "auto pilot," after all, how else could I crawl into the back seat and sleep whilst driving home?  With a priest as my witness, you also know that a high proof content in my glass goes down in one swallow... How is Father doing these days? I'm just wondering where you guys and gals found enough duct tape that night at TSI. I understand that y'all taped me into an upright position behind the steering wheel because I kept falling over... Hey that seat is very lopsided.

For the rest of you, with certain drinks the proof is the difference between drinking glorified used dish water and a velvet smooth Carmelo sweet drink. For example Southern Comfort comes in a 70 or a 100 proof bottle, ANYONE could tell the difference in a matter of seconds. You pay more for the 100 proof, but the smoothness more then compensates for the dollars.

Let's hope they put in a really nice pub at the old Ambassador. A small mall of local businesses would be fantastic, my favorite place in downtown used to be either the train department of the Cohen Brothers Big Store (today's city hall), or a tiny hobby shop which was about 1 block west of Main and somewhere between about Bay and Duval. Wouldn't it be a trip if something special like that went into the old hotel?

I just expect that this hotel project is the tip of a very big development iceberg. Imagine how big it would be if we included streetcars! People would have to jump out of the way of all the developments.
