Can't think of a short-term project I'm more excited for.
Laura's showing some good signs of life this month.
VyStar is being corporate citizen of the year and digging in with their campus.
Bread & Board and the Provisions market are moving in.
The rooftop bar originally proposed for Indigo is being planned by Vystar.
The new garage finally looks to be moving forward, as does the Chamblin's apartments/restaurant.
Chase and Vagabond have their signage up in the windows of the Barnett.
Jumpin Jax (technically just off Laura) has been packed at lunch in its new location.
Despite the city doing everything it can to shit the bed with hasty demolition, political gamesmanship, delusional RFPs, promises of grand gamechangers, and the endless brigade of clown cars plummeting into the St. Johns River, the private sector continues to drag downtown forward, one small but important victory at a time.
Could you imagine where we'd be if the public sector was actually rowing with, rather than against, the CBD?
