This is great news.  But, if you read the comments, it appears that some people just can't be happy.

Personally I ignore the comments because they always come from the same folks every day on just about every subject.

I try, but it's sort of like passing an accident on the road.  I know what I'm going to see is bad, but I can't quite bring myself to look away. :)

Here's what I do. The minute the article comes up I click on print and read the article from there ... the comments aren't included. Then I immediately go back to news and bring up the main page to find the next article I want to read. May take a little time but it saves a whole lot of agravation.

Thanks for the link.  I was wondering how the apartments would lay out.

It's great to see the building go "mixed-use".  The combination of rental revenues and
the retail space is a great idea.  Bringing residential housing downtown helps make it
more viable, and helps to support downtown businesses - hopefully.

I'm impressed with the speed of this project.  Unlike some other "developers", it's good to see this project moving ahead shortly after the new owner took possession of the building.
