They’re moving pretty quickly on construction here, but I’m wondering if they’re still going to hit that “Spring 2009″ timeline. Only one more month and we’re into the summer. ;)

They don't quite look like the rendering up top yet, but progress is underway:

I run by this area about 2-3 times a week and cant wait for it to be done. I wonder if they’re going to do anything to the upper part of the building … windows maybe?

I noticed the other day that fencing was up around this area. Looks like construction has begun. :D

i think a bodega or little grocery store/market would be nice..i think we need more of these all over columbus….personally i NEVER go to cvs for milk or eggs..maybe thats just me, i always thought those items were more expensive at a place like that….plus they never have soy milk. if it was an independent little market i would have less problem paying a little extra for milk knowing it was going to a mom and pop shop. some other stores i think might be good are:

1. Some kind of flagship store a destination store like Puma or Nike (after saying I want independent stores..but this is for like tourists and attracting people down town) or maybe a Sony concept store or something.

2. How about a Pattycake Vegan bakery? Something where locals that love downtown will go and support it. Maybe a Cup o Joe… I am not sure if these are zoned for retail or restaurants or both.

3. Maybe a few nice boutiques all in a row, how about a Tigertree type store or Sole Classics, love those stores any other business owners in Columbus looking for good locations?

Heh, that wouldn’t be a bad thing either. I wonder if Collin is looking to expand. ;)

I thought he meant the bar because “bodega” was capitalized :)

Hey, if they could keep late hours.

That’s the first thing that came to mind, but it’s hard to narrow down what would be best. I hope whatever goes in provides a healthy enough mix of practical for the residents and a bit of niche that can attract people downtown.

Do you really think this would be a good spot for a bodega? The CVS is just a few doors down. Might be a tight competition for the “milk and eggs” crowd.

I think my Wishlist would include :

- A Yaikitori Bar
- A men’s shoe store
- A toy store / gift shop
- A electronics/gadgets store

I’ll settle for 3 out of 4. ;)
