I've heard through the grapevine that the developer who is constructing the new building south of the Newport managed to work around the rules by keeping the side walls of the building up; thus, the project becomes a renovation of an existing structure. That means that the developer would not have to put in a mixed-use multi-story building, but rather could keep it at one-story single-use. Anyone else know anything about it?

Ever since that shady unit at Lane & High (it actually had a TV repair shop UNDER it, if anyone remembers that!) gave way, along with the Arby's next door, for the construction of yet another chain drugstore on a corner parcel, campus has been surprisingly BK-less. Now if we can just get Arby's back . . . at the Gateway, maybe . . ?

Yeah the building was approved as a renovation (a new build would not have been approved only being one story), but magically demo happened...

I think I recall that the BK over the repair shop lost it's franchise due to violations. That place was a mess.
