Chamblin plans Downtown apartments, restaurant

Happy to see this one moving forward!

Still baffled that we can't find a way to do something with this decrepit billboard at one of the most important intersections downtown.

Walk by it every morning, and it just gives the vibe that the area is run down and uncared for.

Is there that much red tape involved to get a mural of JWJ or something up there?

That billboard is just the icing on that shitty corner.  Hopefully if the ex-Chamblin's building gets redone it may help spur some movement on its neighbor.

That meeting was really telling. Everyone could tell the signage ordinance was broken at a glance, except for the DIA representatives. Which means it just goes on being broken for years and years.

I admit that I don't know how the red tape works for this billboard, at "one of the most important intersections downtown", but  it might be a way to give local non-profits with the most need a free plug...maybe a generous donor or two could sponsor the billboard for a month for one of these non-profits, and then more donors for the next non-profit for the next month, etc.?  Try and do some good, anyway, until that corner gets prettied up.

Or just put some art on it like they did during One Spark... those were the days... still had some optimism Jax might actually grow up a little after that event lol

I know. We have enough great mural artists in town.
