We’re now in double digits of cardinals players living on the Landing this season

Has the casino been marketing their properties on the Landing at all? I know they own the former Sundeckers and Big Daddy's spaces. Would be a shame if they just bought them to sit empty
I would think it'd be in the casino's interest to grow the area, seems odd for them to sit on propertiesGoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑May 08, 2024Has the casino been marketing their properties on the Landing at all?

Brew Tulum is going into the former Heartbreakers at 700 N 2nd.
There hasn't been good coffee on the Landing in years, and now there will be two options between Brew Tulum and Cobblestone (they have a to-go window which I love)

I really enjoyed Brew Tulum when they were on Delmar. This is great news for the Landing.

I reached out to BT in Jan when their Delmar
Issue happened and pitched downtown west/downtown for their next location. So I’ll take full credit for this. Thanks

Great news! Keep filling those retail spots. Some friends and I went down to the Landing a couple of weeks ago and had Five Ace's. Aside from the road blocks, it's never looked better in my memory so it's primed to take off.

Brew Tulum will actually be the one operating the coffee window at Cobblestone besides their stand alone at 700 N Second
Pop up window open on First Street, M-F 6:30-10:30
Restaurant at 700 N 2nd itself is a bit far off as it’s a full build out

This is fantastic news. This place was incredible before it closed. Can’t wait to get down to the landing to enjoy this again.

Curious how folks may rate the KWB Garden. Is it drawing people?

I don’t think people are going to it specifically for it, it’s just too small. Most of it visitors are people walking down first north to south and vis versa

^ thanks; yeah, I wasn't expecting for it to be a destination in itself but curious if the public is using it while they're in the Landing. I guess my general interest is if it works well as a public space. Not sure if GRG has anything in the works for the short-term but hopefully more amenities and activation will join the garden before too long.

They have a Friday lunch time concert series, or at least they did last year. Unfortunately every time I walked by they were playing for nearly nobody because it was hot AF outside.
I think it will be a great place to drink coffee from Brew Tulum or eat a picnic'd lunch from Cobblestone. Good spot for food trucks too.

If you knew how much time and energy was spent repairing light poles, signage, curbs, sewers, fences, etc on already narrow streets, I think you'd find that street parking would solve one problem and create many more for Landing stakeholders. Plus, delivery drivers already do it and I've found myself reversing an entire block just to enter/exit when they're parked on opposite curbs from each other.delmar2debaliviere2downtown wrote: ↑Jul 19, 2024I want them to develop on those parking lots in the landing badly.

Personally, I find driving at all in Laclede's Landing to be a pretty awful experience.
The aesthetics of brick roads are great, but the ones in Laclede's Landing are car-rattling.

I can definitely see that and would prefer that they stay away from street parking if that causes those issues. I just also think the large parking lots in the landing take away from the “feel” of the district and they could continue to add residential that would subsist the area. But I know parking is the #1 thing on the American mind so I understand there will have to be some. Maybe could slide some parking levels into some new buildings on the lots and utilize the unused parking lots east of Lumiere.Kingb4 wrote: ↑Jul 19, 2024If you knew how much time and energy was spent repairing light poles, signage, curbs, sewers, fences, etc on already narrow streets, I think you'd find that street parking would solve one problem and create many more for Landing stakeholders.

Other historic districts in cities that are less walkable than St. Louis (Omaha, KC, Cincy) have went all in on an historic area being essentially for pedestrians.
At the end of the day, Landing should be supported by residents and walking Arch visitors. And there’s a metrolink stop. So I hope the developers go all in on making it one of those car free havens that people actually like when they happen and become populardelmar2debaliviere2downtown wrote: ↑Jul 19, 2024I can definitely see that and would prefer that they stay away from street parking if that causes those issues.

I think that's good design, minimizes driving and reduces speed in what should be a pedestrian areaRockChalkSTL wrote: ↑Jul 19, 2024Personally, I find driving at all in Laclede's Landing to be a pretty awful experience.

I don't think the shaky roads are bad design.
Like others are saying, I'd like for the neighborhood to take a pedestrian-first mentality.
A national park featuring the nation's tallest monument is next door. There's a MetroLink station. Wash Ave. is right there. The Mississippi River is great for watching.
If there is anywhere in St. Louis where we could build up a truly pedestrian-first zone, it would be there.
