Yeah, same reason Springdale seems a random place. Those buildings were relatively cheap, but I just dont' see it.

A bar on Spring or even another one on Block Ave could really set the tone. The Colliers guy has expressed the desire for retail and parking garage at Dickson and Block which we recently purchased. Even a good bar on Mountain, like where Loafin Joe's is or where Uncle Gaylord's was, would be kinda cool. Stumbling distance, but far enough from the action to feel more like a neighborhood pub.

Here's a million dollar idea. Find some way to get the owners of the Mill building to separate off the front portion of that lot which faces School Ave. Build out that whole strip like Dickson. The parking in the rear is already there. That area is about to have a nice vibe anyway. That would be Dickson 2.0.

The land that site basically where this picture was taken from.

What did y'all purchase? A little confused.

Now the area you're speaking about it spot on. That is why I love the Hotel Monteleone (NOLA). It's close enough to see the action it but far enough for a little walk.

I'll have to check out the area when I am back home next. I haven't tested the vibe over by Mill building. I am listening to what you are saying though.
