Channel 4 did say that the areas in the front where the riverwalk was located, were open. Did not mention that it was 10 bucks to be there. I did see also where an improptu street party was started on Hogan at Water. The courtyard and the paths leading to the courtyard were shut down. I've never seen the fire marshall care enough to shut down the Landing. There could have been 20 stampedes of people during the Super Bowl, but the Fire Marshall could care less.

City needs more, the Landing cant always be the focus. Major events like that we need another place were people can gather.

There was also RV City. A concert at Met Park would have been nice as well. Sad, but there really isn't enough space on the Southside for an event, unless the old JEA facility could be turned into something for the students as well. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.... |

The students are sheep. Its all they ever did the year before, and year before that. You are right, we need more events, downtown!

I went to Chicago Pizza today because of this thread. I wanted to patronize them due to their issue during the FL/GA game. I may add a review in the dining area, but I'll mention it here.... The pizza was excellent and I love the location and design of the restaurant. Will be a great place to catch a game, they must have over 60 TV's (and i'm not exaggerating)! Also, it really made a difference to me at least having pizza with a view of the river. I was however disappointed with the beer selection, both bottle & tap. The small selection they list in their menu on tap isn't even available. They had 4 or 5 beers on tap and all were very poor choices, IMO. They would do well to incorporate Bold City and some other American craft beers. They do serve liquor though, which can make up for it, but it's nice to have a beer with pizza. I ended up having a coke instead  The service wasn't the greatest, but other servers seemed to be a little more on it than ours (she disappeared for long periods of time). The food and atmosphere was good enough to make up for the downers though and we will continue to visit this location in the future, just hope they correct the 2 issues. |

Conservatively, 80 TV's running 12 hours a day will use about 7000 kWh a month. It's going to get expensive.

Went there last night. The pizza was awesome as usual. The waitress was attentive. Great views of the river. Eating the leftovers tonight. Great addition to The Landing. Wish them much success.
