brianstl Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It looks like the idea of converting the Amory into an ice rink facility is at least gaining some steam among the urbanist crowd. If the Blues are going to get $100+ million in public money, the city should at least ask for something substanial in teturn. https://nextstl.com/2016/06/time-enlist-blues-renovation-armory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 From what I understand Humphreys ownership has officially changed. There will be menu changed but the physical restaraunt will remain unchanged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Blues are going to get $100+ million in public money, the city should at least ask for something substanial in teturn. https://nextstl.com/2016/06/time-enlist-blues-renovation-armory/ I am a hockey Dad. My son has been to every rink in St. Louis as well as Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Nashville, Kansas City... Have never seen kids dragging large hockey bags onto Metro Link. And while we would drive to any nearby ice rink, I don't know why the Armory would be any better than Maryland Heights --- to the hockey families and kids. In fact, driving downtown and parking in what is still a rough part of town benefits whom? city dwellers and urban planners or hockey families? Don't get me wrong. Bringing an ice rink to Midtown and SLU would be great. Converting our Armory like Messier plan in the Bronx would be great. And while this would be a start and while a start needs to happen, what has the City of St. Louis done for the benefit of young sports families in the last 40 years? Soccer fields, baseball complexes, football, etc.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Holy smokes: City Foundry Food Hall & Market Planned for 2018 Debut at East of Cortex The project is bigger - and apparently starting sooner - than previously thought. Great news for SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If done right, this could be really neat. I personally don't have a ton of faith in the Lawrence Group, but I guess we will find out in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prebilliken Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Rant warning: This UNews article came off really whiny shortsighted to me but I thought it was pertinent to the topic. http://www.unewsonline.com/2016/09/01/spring-hall-opens-other-sites-neglected/ As I approach the twilight of my 20's, I try to avoid falling into that trap of becoming the old, cranky alumnus. But seriously? The beautification that SLU has done to its campus just since I have left in 2010 is amazing. The new dorms are game changers. Grand hall is going to create a new quad and bring traffic to a part of the campus no one ever went over to. Concerning the vacant lots, what is SLU supposed to do? Run simultaneous expensive construction projects all across midtown? Kids these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know all the details but from what I've heard I don't think the money is set to last very long if they don't make some serious changes.
