Whenever the construction update arrives I always have a reaction similar to what Billy Madison's when his "magazines" arrive.
Pretty amazing what that aweful metal cladding on the Lee and Cates building was covering up. I hope someone buys that building at the corner of Hogan/Adams and rips that brutalist facade off and exposes something similar.
You mean this one?

I've always wondered what's behind this facade?

I find it interesting that big institutional users like St. Vincent's are starting to take resiliency seriously.
I wonder when our local and state governments will start thinking about it?

Yep, I feel like I've seen a pic of the second one pre-ruining
Interior demo of the church buildings at the San Marco Crossing site appear to have begun.
Saw some construction materials on one of the empty lots on Park St. in the vicinity of Vista and 220 Riverside the last couple days. Does anyone know what's happening there?

^San Marco Crossing!
Good, this will mesh well with the new apartment complex going up a bit South of there on US 1. Hopefully the combo will push some redevelopment to the sore spot that is the Super 8 and Scottish Inn

Several years ago, my employer had a contract with the Scottish Inn to provide X number of rooms to clients. I'd go there to meet with them a couple times a week. Have some interesting stories : )
Didn't hookers, prostitutes, and drug addicts used to frequent Scottish Inn?

I heard it was gypsies, tramps, and thieves ...
With interstate access now available that area, it has become valuable for development and hopefully over time you'll see improvements to the commercial corridor.
Also, I wish Phillips, Kins Ave and Atlantic Blvd all were more pedestrian friendly with bike lanes. Additionally, Atlantic Blvd between Hendricks Ave and 95 needs a road diet.

That's a brave admission Bill. I wouldn't tell anyone that I frequently met clients at the Scottish Inn...

Ha. And for totally unrelated reasons, I also spent the night at the infamous Gator Lodge (just recently rebranded) back in the day. Also an amusing story.
Lol would love to hear the story behind that one!
