Me too!

Does anybody know if it is in the plans for Crispy's and Hyperion to remove their ugly metal security shutters? I hope so, as it will go a long way to help Springfield shed it's former bad reputation.

^Yeah, when setting this one up, over the weekend, I noticed the amount of projects coming online have jumped significantly. Springfield and Murray Hill may be the main reasons. There's a lot of activity in both of these areas that wasn't taking place a year ago.

I think they're just making it not a safety hazard.

Great to see so many projects in the works.

Noticed the Animal Hospital building across from the East San Marco site seems to be adding a floor or two to the top of their building.

That's number 62 on the update.  The animal hospital has moved to St Nick (big upgrade) and I think that building will be office space.

Does anyone know what's going on with Crane Ramen? I asked the question in another thread and it was deleted for some reason...

Thanks, Cap. I just skipped right over it. I guess they're anticipating some real demand if the apartments come online. Prices in San Marco are ridiculous now.

Just over 2 weeks until D-day.  We going to tailgate the groundbreaking?
