I heard she might have bought the Valentine building too. I heard that some woman from Florida bought the Chatham from Larry with the intention of renovating it.

Isn't the Uptown another of our nonpreforming TIF. In other words it isn't performing like Larry said it would.

Larry got lots of extra property included in the Uptown TIF, and then never did anything with it. For example, the vacant Chatham apartments across the street. Don't think you'll have to wait too much longer for some of the "fleabag" buildings to get gentrified. There's one on Main that's going condo, and others are sure to follow. Most of the vacant buildings Downtown have already been renovated, and developers are looking to the south to find their next projects. Bob, that was the TIF we were referring to.

Taking out that "skeezy" shopping center would be great! Now if someone could get all of the crackhead zombies out of the Ambassador, and surrounding fleabag dumps, that would be even greater. Anyone remember the controversy surrounding the Uptown Theater TIF? Didn't Joe Serviss have something to do with that? There was a lot of city-connected insider chicanery, if I heard correctly.

There are very few grocery store choices in the Midtown area. It would be great if Larry Sells could find a new grocery store along the lines of a Barrons for his development.
