Lofts off Stockton?

[Captain Zissou]

When did they move from their place in Lakewood??  Where are they now?

They live in the Villa Riva (aka Tower of Power ) high rise in Riverside.  Been there for a couple of years now I think.

That makes sense.  That building does house some very powerful people.  While it's not exactly in the neighborhood, it's nice to have him on our side of town.

Yeah, I've seen them during my morning walk over a half-dozen times in the past few months. Seen them frequenting Cool Moose quite often.

I use to see them all over the neighborhood. First Fridays in 5 points, breakfast at the Derby House and once I ran into Wayne on the morning of the 2009 draft... he was out jogging and we were stopped at the same cross walk near the Cummer... I asked him who we were going to draft

I've lived in Riverside for a while now and frequent Cool Moose, European St. ect.. and have never ran into the Weavers.  Not to hijack this thread but the next time one of you bump into him can you please mention the current Coaching and QB situation.  Thank you.

Actually, I know someone who asked Mrs Weaver about her husband's decision to keep Jack. She declined to comment.

Anyway, I've heard the numbers 250-450k tossed around for these places. I don't doubt they'll be nice and you'd certainly expect to pay a premium on new (ish) construction (and they are planning retail there right?). Anyone think they might have some trouble filling these units up?

Geesh, can't the Weaver's have some privacy.    What big time celebrities will want to live here when they can walk the streets of New York and most people wouldn't bat an eye.  With this kind of attention, if I were the Weavers, I would go underground or at least go out with some clever disguises. 

I remember when Michael Jackson was here for his Thriller concerts over three or four nights at the Gator Bowl.  As I recall, on the evening of one of the rehearsal days, he went incognito to a movie theater (I think the now demised St. Johns off of Roosevelt) for a movie and no one realized he was in their midst.

He was probably just seen as some Avondale au paire taking the neighborhood kids out for a movie

The Weaver's are very nice and classy people.

A couple of years ago we took a relative out of assisted living to the Row restaurant for Christmas eve dinner.  The Weavers were there with family also having dinner.  The relative we were with is a big football fan but confused by extreme age.  She recognized Wayne Weaver, but thought he was a fellow resident at the assisted living facility in the neighborhood.  She started chatting with him about events and people at the facility.

After a momentary confused look, Mr. Weaver started nodding and and replying with pleasantries to this elderly lady who had obviously mistaken him for someone else.  We rescued him as quickly as we could and he gave our relative a hug and wished her a Merry Christmas.  Perfect example of a warm, compassionate and classy person; a gentleman.

There are a lot of people in the Tower of Power who are IN Riverside, but not OF Riverside.  The Weavers are very much OF Riverside and very welcome.

They just tore down the windowless building(s) that were right on stockton across from the Marybuilt. Definitely makes the main buildings look much better from the street.

We took our two year old son by and watched the demolition.  He loved it!  They just used a small excavator.

I heard they were going to build something similar to what is across Stockton. Is that still true???

[The Compound]

I havent heard.

I was unaware that the Weavers were intimately involved with the school conversion. I think that's great. I always got a good vibe from Wayne Weaver, could never explain it, but I always had some respect for him. My only request/suggestion for them would be, after this project, how about revitalizing one of those six story buildings that are in disrepair near the new courthouse. Such as the Ambassador hotel, or that brown building that looks like there was a fire on the top floor. Does anyone know the building I'm talking about? I believe it's between Hogan and Julia streets.

Tony Sprawlman, I mean, Slaiman could learn a lesson from the Weavers.
