Was hard to see on my evening metro commute but the area where you have the yellow box didn’t look to be asphalt yet. Everything else was definitely asphalt though.sc4mayor wrote:They never started site prep for the actual development, they just demolished the rest of that old warehouse.
I’d be curious if they paved over the entire thing, or just the parcel that included the old warehouse closest to the Armory. Phase I was originally outside of that footprint:
I just drove by on the ramp next to it. I would say a majority of the yellow box is parking lot. Some on the south side might still be a pile of dirt.sc4mayor wrote: ↑Dec 08, 2022They never started site prep for the actual development, they just demolished the rest of that old warehouse.

I don't think that's the same company doing this anymore. Similar concept, but not the same people.Baltimore Jack wrote: ↑Dec 09, 2022So we had my work holiday party at The Rec Hall in St. Charles today. I was a little underwhelmed by the place compared to Westport Social and Dogwood Social. I don't know. Just seemed like little more than a gym with a plywood bar.
I'm talking up PuttShack for next year.
I'll say this: It sure as hell would be a great place to watch the World Cup Finale this Sunday morning.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Dec 13, 2022Once again I ask what is this suppose to be? A Tv watching lounge?
Can't tell with the pictures if this is still happening, but the renderings show ping-pong tables, badminton, putt-putt, and other things like that.dbInSouthCity wrote:Once again I ask what is this suppose to be? A Tv watching lounge?
Main level is a massive indoor backyard games + fest. Huge screens for added sports watching. All main floor components can be stowed, turning the space into a 4,000 cap concert hall with Martin sound and lighting rigs in house. Lower floor comes later (spring) featuring a huge roller skating rink, nightclub and outdoor patio space. I believe the downstairs concepts will have separate entry and basically stand alone from the upstairs facility. Also separate spaces rentable for corporate or private functions.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Dec 13, 2022Once again I ask what is this suppose to be? A Tv watching lounge?
Moto Museum to the Armory? First I've heard of this.Future phases with five more venues, with details to be announced next year, are to open in the spring in the basement level and in rooftop space that’s comparable in size to the main level. In the future, a Tennis Hall of Fame will be located at the site to honor the Armory’s history hosting tennis tournaments, along with the Moto Museum, which features motorcycles.
It is. BPV's main inside TV is only a 40 foot LED. The Armory's TV size isn't directly listed anywhere (that I've read at least - only that it's "giant") but the stage directly in front of it that's the same width as the TV itself is 60 feet wide. So it definitely is. That said, I think we all agree that TV size really won't make or break anything, though it is a fun comparison point.JJ Taino wrote: ↑Dec 14, 2022It looks way better than expected. That screen looks bigger than the one at BPV.

I don't understand why you’re having such a hard time with this. It’s BPV with games and a better indoor stage. It looks like a fun place to watch a sporting event, take in a concert, or just chill on cold day in February and do some day drinking with the boyz.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Dec 13, 2022Once again I ask what is this suppose to be?

Ok but it is sort of bonkers. Corn hole and ping pong or nice add for a Louge but teeter totter and curly slide seem gimmicky and sort of ridiculous. I mean either go full Pee Wee's playhouse or don't at all. Of course, based on my reference to Pee Wee's playhouse, I am about 20 years out of knowing what's actually cool (if I ever did) so good luck, I guess.JaneJacobsGhost wrote: ↑Dec 15, 2022I don't understand why you’re having such a hard time with this.

Plus I'm curious how the SLU students are getting over there? Yes, that's walkable: but a sh*tty walk.GoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑Dec 16, 2022I am curious what their long-term solution for parking is going to entail now that the basement is being used for more bar concepts. As of now they are using a massive surface lot to the east in the footprint of the buildings that were torn down, but isn't there a development slated to start here soon? Is that still happening?
Until they build the footbridge to the Foundry there really isn't another location for people to park, and I can guarantee that 99% of the people coming here won't be using public transportation.
If this area is going to be the urban paradise that it aspires to be, the Spring Ave footbridge over 64 needs to be built ASAP. Theresa should have a footbridge as well crossing the tracks to connected Steelcote. If Iron Hill gets going again then Prospect could use a bridge but that's a much lower priority at this point.
