Somebodys buying up all of just North of Cass and East of Florissant down to Chambers and from what I hear their willing to be real fair to the people down there about buying their land .. They have big plans for that area from what I heard today .. It all sounds good

Are they tearing down historic homes?
And isn't it Cass or is there a Case?

Can you tell us what you mean (in dollars) by this? If someone is doing more than trying to piece together a portfolio by offering bottom-dollar, sitting, allowing property to devalue, then offering bottom-dollar again, well, maybe there's a plan in the works.
Any news form eco-absence?

It looks like something is being built just north of the Neighborhood Gardens, at least I thought I saw something as I sped by there yesterday on 70.
Yes it is Cass sorry about that . And I was told by someone that has already talked with someone about buying up all his land down there . And he was told their planning on building a International sport arnea there . And from what I hear this is something that has been in the works for awhile .

^ ?!?!?!? An MLS stadium? If true - and I'm guessing it's not - what a waste. Isn't this a residential area?

I think Michael Allen over at Ecology of Absence would find this bit of info interesting.
Well I know three down that way said their ready to get out and if their offer is any good at all their taking it and running ..
It's more rundown warehouses then anything and the one person that is sitting on most of the houses down there is one that has already said if their offer is any good at all then its theirs . .
Well if it's not true then the guy lied to my friend way their wanting to buy his land from him . He said they gave his daughter a picture of what it's suppose to look like and I did ask him to see if his daugther will make a copy of the picture so I could have one he said as soon as she gets it back to him he will let me know .

^ I didn't really mean to imply that someone's lying, I just don't have a clue what "International sports arena" someone could be envisioning.

This is very interesting to me. However, I don't think that this project is related to Blairmont.

^ Blairmont hasn't consumed your brain has it?!?! 
We need you on this one.
We need you on this one.My friend today said they told them that their planning on having a Ice skating rink , Boxings , and track to run on and a big hockey rink , H.O.K .is the architects that has been working on it he said the guy told them they been working on it for 4 yrs. And was told that they have talked with most of the people down there that owns Property and so far the ones they have talked with are willing to sale . I would say someone is hoping to be able to host the
National Olympic one day . Thats only what I think .. But my friend said he stills finds it hard to belive and he will belive it onces he gets his money in his hands

No, it hasn't. I have not seen the rendering, and I don't think that the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group has seen it either.
The footprint area includes many historic buildings that are contributing resources to the Mullanphy Historic District. That district has lost many contributing resources, and further loss would not only destroy the architectural context but could also destroy the district -- meaning the loss of tax credits for that part of Old North.
I would oppose any demolition for the project.
If the investors want a prominent large site north of downtown, they should buy the Schnucks site. It would be a perfect match for their arena.
Keeping everything that I find out to myself from now on

Those posts are hard to read. The thoughts are there, but they are difficult to read. I was just pointing that out, most of the time people adapt, and it makes things better for those trying to read posts here. I had to skip over most of what was said because it was hard to follow.
