definitely.. the sooner the better

They've already broken ground. Demo work is taking place now.

Timkin · March 29, 2011, 03:55:38 PM

sweet.. I thought I read Asbestos removal was on-going at present?

thelakelander · March 29, 2011, 03:57:16 PM

That's a part of the demo phase in my book.

Has anyone heard any more news about that the BP station that was going to be built a block up from the parkview?

This development should help bridge the gap between the urban core and Springfield. It will draw FSCJ students along with Springfield and Northbank residents. Maybe this will also push the BP station to break ground.

Starbucks with the drive thru they love. I would prefer a Dunkin Donuts.

Starbucks already closed 11E, and now they are closing The Landing store. Do you really think they would locate there? Maybe...the traffic count is way better, but with two failed stores already downtown, I wonder.

JeffreyS · March 30, 2011, 02:39:29 PM

I do not believe either of them failed. The first came as a mass closing of Starbucks that had multiple stores close together and the other came when they felt they were having the rent unfairly raised.(IMO) I would not be surprised at all if in closing the landing site they had an alternate in mind especially if it allowed them to add a drive thru. * All conjecture as I have no inside info.

Timkin · March 30, 2011, 04:56:14 PM

No offense to Starbucks lovers, but I would think a Dunkin would also work there.

JeffreyS · March 30, 2011, 05:01:12 PM

I would prefer a Dunkin Donuts.

Timkin · March 30, 2011, 05:02:20 PM

That or Krispy Kreme.. but Dunkin would be my first choice.

Debbie Thompson · March 31, 2011, 12:57:14 PM

Ditto, Timkin. Good point about Starbucks, JeffreyS. I forgot both those points. Although, I still imagine a SB on the corner of Main and State would get far more drive-in traffic than either downtown SB ever got in foot traffic.

Update:

QuoteSunday notebook: No sale yet for old Park View Inn lot

In case you're wondering what's going on with the old Park View Inn downtown, or what's left of it, the answer is not much. Tyler Saldutti of Prime Realty said he had a contract on the property from a group that wanted to build affordable apartments on the site at State and Main streets.

But that fell through.

He said the original plan was for a 24-hour pharmacy and a boutique grocery, but that didn't happen. He said there's been interest from convenience stores and fast food restaurants, but there's nothing signed yet.

In the meantime, Colliers International has taken over the listing.
