I hope it's lip service and that the plan really isn't to turn that great looking building into an open air market or raze it. That would be a crime. The other thing is, if you look closely, the Ted isn't really that close to any housing. The parking lots and expressway cut it off on 3 sides. And we're talking less than 20 events a year vs. 90. The objections are silly. But when the Edgewood Retail District was built off Moreland it was the same thing. There were objections to everything imaginable. The builders agreed to no cell tower. So you can't get a good Cell signal to this day in there. They agreed to 75% of workers must be from surrounding neighborhoods. A couple of big box retailer that drug test had issues for years with staffing. So this is just part and parcel of building near in town neighborhoods.
