i hope they use explosives. wrecking balls are boring. maybe they could drop bombs from a plane or something.
or we could have a berlin wall party and tear it down ourselves.
we are free! escalator rides for everyone!
and chandeliers.
and an antiseptic piano bars.
and luxury condos that no one will buy.
woo
that sound you hear is a rush of 20-40 people fleeing to Louisville, Cincinnati and elsewhere.
I'm sorry. There's lot of development in downtown Louisville in the last few years. I believe some things have been/will be exploded for the arena, but for the most part, it seems like a lot of the developments have maintained their architectural splendor. Of course, I'll never forgive them for gentrifying Blue Movies and The Penguin. And The Collonade.
terri, that's because lvilles "city fathers" aren't 100% evil idiots.
Heh. You guys claim to be "progressives" until real progress shows up, then it's "status quo forever."
anon: can you read?
1) I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEW ESCALATORS.
2) I WANT TO SEE THINGS BLOWN UP.
3) I WANT PEDWAYS CONNECTING EVERY SINGLE DOWNTOWN BUILDING (unless we can find a reason to blow the building up)
get a grip, man, and speak fucking english. it's the 21st century. latin's dead, dude. progress with us.
Now it's time to talk about what can go IN the building--another music venue? A museum or gallery space? Something that might infuse the building with at least a LITTLE bit of Lexington's rich culture maybe...it's going up. The next question is what's going to be IN it!!
"it's going up. The next question is what's going to be IN it!!"
And you think you have a say in that?!?!?
hahahahahahahaha!
escalators!!! jumbotron!!! a suite for the sheik!!! another big blue martini!!!
let the progress begin!
Actual progress = actual education and scientific discovery.
Fauxgress = inept businessmen with a track record of failed real estate ventures planning a groundbreaking TGI Friday's and meat markets with 80s Nights.
(For the record, I have nothing against TGI Friday's.)
The daddies of Louisville (I mean, most of them, including the mayor, love sucking dick as much as me) are totally and 100% corrupt.
They're just not wholly stupid like Dudley Webb.
I concur.
I do miss Fashion Shop, though.
I left around 5pm - I can't believe this lasted until after 7 - and then they approve in unanimously. un-fucking-believable. if I were actually in Lexington right now, I would be finding a way to leave. damnit
you know, i recently took a holistay/staycation to the cinci/covington/newport area. i went to the newport aquarium, the Hoffbrauhause, Southgate House (live music, drinks), and ikea in 2.5 days. i could have walked to all of it. i go to the bardstown road area in louisville all the time. i do walk to all of the stuff there. fun, varied times.
i have to say, as a long-time resident of lexington, that i am disappointed and only that much more excited about an evitable move to the ville...
...and i used to take up for lexington. sigh.
terri-
fashion shop joke = priceless
(and if that wasn't a joke...you have my condolences...)
Was air quality/general pollution even discussed with the demolition? Tearing down an entire block of old buildings is bound to release a ton of carcinogens into the air. Everyone living nearby needs to watch this very closely!
What's stopping your beloved Dive ... I mean Dame ... from going in the new building once it's completed?
although I can't find it on a quick search, Dudley Webb said something to the effect of "no way, no how" to having the Dame, Busters, Mia's or any of the other establishments be located within CentrePointe. if you search B&P, I'm sure Joe has the quote somewhere
lisa,
i mentioned that to preserve lexington months ago but didn't hear anything.
it is conceivable -- if the city did not gauge this -- that one empowered citizen in the general area and one right-minded lawyer could sue to block demolition until such a study has been done (this sort of thing has been done plenty of times in other places).
but: it would take a person with a legitimate claim, or a group with one, and that pesky lawyer.
so nows the time if that's a route.
Dudley's Jowels made it clear when they presented their BM that the Rabble at the Dame would not fit in with the high scale clientele at CentrePointe.
Ain't gonna happen.
But there will be a rockin Piano bar for hotel guests, so... we've got that going for us.
a piano bar!
thank g-d. i was tired of the syphilis at the Martini, I want some CentrePointe Clap.
It's going to be extra klassy, because it they use Anglo-French spelling.
obviously, Anonymous, you define "progress" and "dives" (or venues as we like to call them) somewhat differently than the other thread contributors. rather than just trying to stir up emotions, it would be nice to hear what you think should be done to replace the concentrated entertainment complex that used to call Centre(disap)Pointe its home.
