[emu steve]

As of TODAY, July 20, 2014 everything we thought or posted in the past isn't very relevant and today a completely different vision, dream for downtown and Midtown and much of it is to be built concurrently by 2017. Light clearing of the site in fall 2014; heavy duty work begins in spring 2015.


[[We have a thread with almost 500 posts but are they still relevant? I'd say not. This vision seems to have exceed my wishes by many fold).

EDIT: Just read Bill's article in Crains. The articles are complimentary, each has unique information.
