While far from an ideal use; that Raisin Caine's finishing up on Vandeventer looks pretty decent for what it is. We'll have to wait and see on traffic/pedestrian impacts.

I agree - I like that they set it so wide against the street and the landscaping is quite welcome on that road.

Really glad to hear that 1400 Tower Grove Ave. is going to live on in some way, shape, or form.
That area just south of The Grove has so much potential.

For a fast food drive thru place - I actually think its pretty good. I honestly think it was the best anyone could have asked for in this location. I think the White Castle down the road is much much worse.
As much as I am against drive-throughs, I have to admit the scale of this building is not bad at all. Thanks I guess to the Form-based Code.

Yeah, looks pretty good from the front and the sides... I think the outdoor seating section is a nice touch too.
WUMCRC posted on Twitter that Tech Artista is opening up in the former church on the corner of Taylor and Gibson: Link
Anyone have any additional information? Are they closing in the CWE or opening up a second location? Any information on what that means for the small park across Gibson?
Updated: looks like the Tech Artista website has an entry about a new Studios building in the Grove. Their Studios webpaget says it was supposed to open September 1, but I haven't seen too much activity there other than some dumpsters cleaning out trash a few months ago.

I like the darker colors 4475 Chouteau is getting. Too bad the upper floors are stucco.

^^I guess Sean doesn't post here anymore, but I'm curious as to what the delay on this project was about. It's a 1-story, non-historic building...
Thanks for that update on 4475 Chouteau Chris. I much prefer the new darker color scheme instead of the original brown, brown and more brown.
For whatever reason, black brick is having a moment right now. And even though it will look dated at some point, I like that it is of the moment and will be clearly recognizable as a late 2010’s building down the road.

^Downtown in the '70s and '80s was just way ahead of it's time...there was black brick and terracotta everywhere!
^Whats an example of black brick being used Downtown in to 70s-80s?
lol. I meant that all the older buildings in downtown were black from coal deposits, before they were cleaned up in the late 80s and 90s. Washington Ave. was a long, depressing corridor of grey and black. City Hall, Union Station, Old Post Office, you name it downtown, have all had extensive and expensive facade cleaning. And now we make buildings out of black and grey brick, and in some cases cover them with rusted steel panels. It's quite funny, and ironic...nostalgia for urban, industrial decay on buildings meant to replace it...wabash wrote: ^Whats an example of black brick being used Downtown in to 70s-80s
