I'm not familiar with what a redbox "costs" and floor space may become an issue, however I'll look into it and report back anything I find out. Thanks for the suggestion!

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.
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.

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.
Tudor Project Completion Marks Rebirth of 1900 Block of Washington
![]()
Early completion of the renovation of the Tudor Building, which covers the 1900 block of Washington Avenue in the City of St. Louis, marks a rebirth for that historic block.
Paric Corporation was the design/build general contractor on the $16 million, 104,820-square-foot project, which was completed within budget and more than two months ahead of schedule. Paric rebuilt the interior of the former Wrought Iron Range Company building, which had been vacant for almost 20 years, into 64 residential loft units and 14 street-level retail spaces.

I drove by the Tudor yesterday and I liked what I saw. I think these apartments are ideally situated for those that want downtown convenience and a location just outside of the core of activity.
It's going to be interesting to see how well the angled parking works out, though. I can't imagine trying to back out of a spot there the way some people drive down that stretch of WashAve. Of course, you can fit more cars into those two blocks that way, but it comes with a price. Not long ago, Springfield, Mo. eliminiated angle parking on short stretches of its busiest streets downtown (South Avenue and Walnut Street), and the traffic flow is much better now IMHO.

The first-ever "Tudor Street Festival" is being held on Washington Ave in front of the building next Friday 8/8.

I think the signs are just the names of fictional businesses, they are some sort of leasing ploy.

It's locally owned by the Flannery's guys.
You think wrong. Those are actual business that have signed leases and are in various stages of planning.southcitygent wrote:I think the signs are just the names of fictional businesses, they are some sort of leasing ploy.

Awesome! Does that mean I can get direct shuttle service from the Tudor building to the hockey games? hehe

Also, did anyone make it out to the Tudor Street Festival? Wondering how that went...
