Hopefully this continues. I saw the theater portion of the building back in 93 and it was BAD. A man that owned a design business in the Fountain Square Building (Don Kelly) had always loved the building ever since working there as a young kid in the 1940s. He was a pin spotter. They didn’t have automatic spotters in those days. He introduced me to Mr. Calvert. I remember him telling us everything he had planned for the building back then.
The City owes Mr. Calvert a lot. I have clients clear out in California that heard of the Fountain Square Building.
The city owes him for being a responsible building owner? Oh how low our expectations are.
Well, Murray, criticism is cheap. Please tell us how much of your wealth, expertise, and reputation you’ve risked in a neighborhood that had been abandoned and left for dead by everyone else.
If you don’t knock it off!
Well, you would know about being cheap and having low expectations.
Quite a bit, actually. Even in this very neighborhood and Fletcher Place. But go on as if you actually know a thing or two.
Hopefully he can keep the ball rolling. Very few people know there are hotel rooms. Last I checked they were very pricey for why I assume are very dated rooms. Imbibe has some good momentum. Rooftop is a hidden gem but has legendary service issues and they appear to open whenever they feel like it. The theatre is cool but the challenge has to be parking. How do you tell 250 wedding guests to park god knows where? Maybe take the redline
Fountain Square needs an injection of life. Something big. I think they’ve rest on their laurels since blowing up a decade ago. Now they have to compete with Mass Ave and the Bottleworks complex. Hopefully they do something big!
