Here's been work recently on the N8 site. I've seen it myself.

Yeah I saw them drilling out there, for what I assumed were foundations, but now the site is mostly empty again.

Likely soil testing and environmental surveys as part of preconstruction. 

It was a large auger drill rig like you'd use for cast in place pilings.  Much larger than a rig used for soil testing.

Five Points is on fire. I love that FP is a genuinely cool place that is so undiscovered! May not be for long though.
I used to hang out at Fat Tuesdays in Atlanta when in college. There was one in Buckhead in those days, many centuries ago. Great to see they're still around.

Yes, we'll have a story about a few successful road diets to roadways similar to Kings Road, in a few other Florida cities, later this week. One road is a BRT corridor, proving that traffic does not have to "stack" behind a stopped bus.  Another has turned into a bonefide pedestrian scale dining and retail district. It strongly suggests that a street where all modes are properly balanced can generate additional economic activity, despite not being 4-lanes anymore.

In other words, turn the stroads into streets.
