Good to see they upgraded their website to include the St. Louis project.

I noticed that the cleaners is moving to 15th and Wash. The storefront looks good.

Is the cashier still going to be allowed to smoke at the front desk? I never really understood the concept of having your clothes cleaned in a place where there is chain smoking going on. Do any non smokers get their cleaning done there?
I was perplexed by that too. Incredibly old-fashioned. I thought it was funny because I love characters and places that have character, but I wouldn't get my clothes cleaned there again. Also, I don't think they have air conditioning in that building. old school.

I did not have the good sense to follow up and ask if that was real construction or demolition, sorry guys, I'll remember next time. quote]
Does anybody know what the sales are at now?

Not sure of sales, but I know they are doing a lot of the hosting for fashion week starting today I think. Should be some good exposure.
^ That is very good news I hope this means construction is still on target for the top of the year.

I'm going to try to email the sales-rep for skyhouse and get some updated numbers on sales, etc. He's a pretty nice guy, so hopefully I'll have some info in a day or two.

They have removed (Cut it out of the ground) an old parking sign from the lot next door to the skyhouse and have now put up yellow tape around the site... Any ideas what is going on?

Maybe it's a crime scene?
It appears the parking lot has simply been closed. Maybe they are getting ready to demo the building so construction can start whenever they meet the sales requirement.
^Let's hope thats what it is...though it could very well be a crime scene.
Definately not a crime scene? I figured, but you never know. Or definately not construction/demo prep?
^Touche. It could be any number of things besides demo prep, that was just my optimistic idea.
I drove by today and Bellon Wrecking was disconnecting utilities. I think the building may in fact be coming down soon.

That's deffinitely the best news we've heard in a while...too bad it's gonna be at least another 2 months after they began demolition before any construction can begin. (assuming no other delays)
