    There’s absolutely no way any development could be taking place on or anywhere near South 2nd St after the city took away the second vehicle lane and added bike lanes. How could anyone possibly get through that area let alone have it thrive?

    Media needs to do more pieces that connect the “then” with the “now”, so we can all remember to take a slightly longer view of things than the number of customers a certain gas station did or did not lose.

    @Rich. Thanks for that… I remember quite clearly a certain writer at the JS (now working for Ron Johnson) arguing reducing the lanes would be terrible for S. 2nd Street:)

    So freight trains run right behind the building? Hope the rent reflects that. I currently live about a quarter mile from a freight train line and when the train goes by, it is a low deep rumble that I can hear clearly. If you are a fan of trains, then this may be your spot; otherwise, not sure everyone would want that disruption several times a day.
