The Evolution of Avenues Walk

[ProjectMaximus]

There was supposed to be some bowling alley/entertainment center within the avenues walk project...not sure if that's what you saw though.

That's gotta be it.  BTW, hurry up and post something trivial, at least, ProjectMaximus - 666 posts makes me feel sinister.

Here's the link to Latitude 30 - sort of a Dave & Buster's on roids.  It was a "dine in" theater, not "drive in" as my brain registered at 45 mph.......

Prediction for Lat 30, bankruptcy.

Ouch.  That's what I thought about HH Gregg,  but that crazy big Wal-Mart seems to have revived things there........there was nary a car in sight for the first few month of this year.  I will say this, though - the sports bar looks pretty sweet!

Yikes but probably the truth. I wonder if they can project a hologram of the moon???

Hey Hey!  That's gonna happen!  Guess it's time to jumpstart that thread.

Now that's what I'm talking about...that place looks fantastic. It's probably going to make parking around there a nightmare (being right next to that Olive Garden which you can't find a spot at unless they're closed), but wow does that place look good. Only thing I wouldn't have done is the gaming section - D&B already does that. Now, put a comedy club in there instead...oh well, can't have everything.

Any word on when that opens?

Looks promising to me.

Cool concept...  Seems ambitious to me...and I mean that in terms of space.  That's a lot of "activity centers" to fit into a 46k sq ft space.  Most of the upscale bowling centers across the country are +/-25k sq ft, which is only bowling, bars/restaurant, and maybe a few pool tables.  If they can squeeze it all in, how do you separate the crowd noise, music, and bowling pins crashing from those sitting a few feet away trying to watch a movie?

I agree grange. I think they will do 4 things poorly rather than 1 thing well.  I also don't know if that is the location or market for such an endeavor.
