Sounds like good news in the long run. Gotta start clearing out and prepping before selective demolition begins.
Turning circle center into an out door mall is a backward development . It will become a wind tunnel to avoid.
Lot of successful billion dollar developments under your belt?
Greenwood mall used to be an “outdoor” mall and yes IT WAS A DISASTER. Certain politicians have let the downtown collapse. After all the work that went into downtown, people no longer feel safe to be downtown. This needs to be fixed and downtown shopping and dining needs to be able to get back on track. Of course if we can get some people (politically) that know to run a business and be successful have to be put in place. It took from the late seventies to the mid nineties to make downtown happen and only about 8 years to screw it up. We now have downtown living again but people will have to have cars to get to places to get groceries and items that are hard to come by downtown again. Indy was unique and successful but for example moving the jail and justice building out of down town much like they did in the sixties. You need concentration of people and resources and above all else, SAFETY.
Have you ever even BEEN downtown? Groceries hard to come by? There are 3 full service groceries within walking distance of each other downtown. And downtown is hardly collapsing, LOL. Hundreds of millions in new development going on right this very minute with lots of other projects in the pipeline. Downtown remains a vibrant place to live, work and play – and it’s getting better, not worse.
What are you talking about? I am guessing you haven’t been downtown at night or on a weekend day. Businesses are doing great. Restaurants are almost always packed. You don’t need a car to get groceries downtown. No clue what you are talking about regarding the jail and justice building, they were outdated and more room was needed. You sound like every suburbanite that only goes downtown to eat at a chain restaurant or go to 1 Colts game a year.
Was recently thinking how refreshing that the downtown fear mongering had subsided quite a bit. Then I read this comment. Smh….
No I’m not sure if you’re talking about downtown greenwood or downtown Indianapolis because there are three grocery stores in downtown Indianapolis, there’s a hardware store, there’s several places such as t.j Maxx where you can buy items.There’s a multitude of restaurants down there. As far as the jail and processing center those are done away with to put in more housing.
Neil, sorry to pile on, but you lost me. Lots of grocery choices downtown. Retail, not so much, but the healthy and younger demographic living in the urban core doesn’t do much shopping at Ayres, Blocks, or Wesson’s…downtown, or anywhere! It would be nice to have a Target near the downtown area. Too bad some are so afraid of “big city” living. Do the math, more people, more to do, more diversity, and sure more crime, but not like the dark picture you paint. I’m sure places like New Palestine and Whiteland have less crime, but they’re dull, flat, and reek of same same same. Comforting to some. Have at it.
Wasson’s I meant. Spell check was stuck on the cooking oil.
