On FCN last night, Sleiman said with the extra dedicated parking, he estimates he things will look different for the Landing in six months.

I'll be waiting with baited breath

[fsujax]

well, if Sleiman gets his parking....he better land something BIG at the Landing. Keeping fingers crossed.

[thelakelander]

LOL. Look on the bright side. Everyone will have every opportunity to rub his face in the mud if he can't deliver.

[fsujax]

I know....but I want him to succeed. So I am rooting for him and the Landing.

I am pulling for the Landing to capitalize on this.  Wouldn't it be great if Tony already has something up his sleeve.

[Keith-N-Jax]

There shouldn't be a single soul on this MB that doesn't want to the Landing or anything for that matter to succeed Downtown.

If this goes through, this will cause a lot more pedestrian traffic to use the Hogan street entrance.  I hope Sleiman improves that entrance and opens it up more towards Hogan Street.  This could give more reason for the city to develop the park that MJ has been advocating.  Good things good things.

From the First Coast news article:

"Parking will do it. In mid-July, I'm going up to New England. I've got appointments with a couple of chains up there talking about coming to Jacksonville," Sleiman said of his plans, adding that he hopes to have the lot secured in about six months.

Let's start the guessing....maybe Legal Sea Food?

Peyton's method's just bother me. I am so glad this is his last year in office and hopefully we dont make another 8 years mistake at election time. He says he's for downtown, but he goes against everything that anyone is trying to do. If it's not part of his agenda, peyton wants nothing to with it. Peyton is not interested in whats best for the city, he's only interested in what he wants.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Never heard of it, are they any good?

[thelakelander]

Never tried them but they have a ton of locations in the NE and only one in Florida.

I'd definitely be okay with a Legal Seafood. Of course if he could convince Giacomo's from Boston to open up down here I'd be forever grateful.
