A music store would be nice here too, as in musical instruments, as opposed to CD's and such...

The Tudor building seems to be one of the few rational landlords on Wash Ave. They spaces are renting at a very attractive and reasonable rate, so they should fill the spaces quicker than most on Wash Ave. I was talking with one of the leasing agents for the residential units and she told me they have very generous build-out allowances and $12/sq ft leasing rates for the retail space. Good for them!

Cool. I think the tudor is a great place for these types of services.

So why are there so many white stripes next to all of the angled parking spots? Is this where future landscaping is going? I hope so

I think somebody went crazy with the line machine.

Or somebody is just a really big fan of the...white stripes.

A few days back I saw some people putting up some decals on a window near the middle of the block. Lee Studios or something? Any one been by in the last day or two to check this out?

I think we need a movie gallery or a blockbuster in this area.

^ i second that. a redbox would be great too - although they are only secondary to any business. maybe city pet supply can get a redbox in their store.... ?

There's a redbox in the foyer of McDonald's on Tucker...within walking distance for downtown residents.

Is that the McDonalds on the other side of the closed down bridge? If so, I don't see to many DT residents walking or driving over there.

Yah...I walk over there from time to time...never had any problems myself.

And that's fine, I'm just saying the great majority of people will not make that walk.

I'm just saying people should give it a try

I think I know who's got his concealed carry permit. . .

saw some decals on a few different stores opening in the building today as i drove by. there appeared to be 4-5 new stores including the pet store. paradise salon appears to be moving back into the building. i think there is another salon moving in and some sort of boutique clothing store i think. i hope someone is thinking about opening a restaurant in one of the stores. i could use some new options.

During the loft tour one of the reps said they already have 25 of the 64 units reserved, if my memory serves me right people could start moving in the next two or three weeks.

Washington Avenue Loft District Wkipedia



By John Gadson





(KTVI - myFOXstl.com) --

New changes have come to Washington Avenue Downtown.



Traffic has been reduced to two lanes and between 21st and 19th Streets drivers can no longer parallel park, it's now angle parking at forty-five degrees.



The changes are geared to help new shop owners, moving into the new retail spaces along the street.



Downtown backers say angle parking opens up more parking spaces and narrowing the streets should slow traffic down.



Maurice Mosley, who runs a Washington Avenue hair salon, says he likes the idea of added parking but he does not like the fact his customers now have to back out into busy traffic.



Later this month the Tudor Building on 20th and Washington re-opens.



Four businesses already are lined up to locate there, including Mosley's beauty salon.

I've never been a huge fan of angled parking. I don't think it's worth the increased number of collisions that will happen by people backing out of their spot.



If the City wanted angled parking, at the least they should make it so you have to back into the spot. At least that would lessen the number of collisions.



I am glad to see the City being proactive in adding additional parking without leveling a building. Now if only they can get rid of the lane restrictions on the east end of Washington by the Merchandise Mart.

Reverse-angle parking would be better.
