Make Way for Condos!
Well they just tore down the shell of the pumping stations at the Stop-N-Shop on Lake and Aldrich. It took about 5 minutes to get it on the ground and was super fun to watch. Dylan and I are of mixed feelings about all the construction in our fair neighborhood. On one hand we’re all for urban renewal, increasing density and reducing urban sprawl. At the same time we sometimes grieve over the loss of the urban character when mixed neighborhoods like Uptown slowly march into upper-middle class uniformity. Not to mention that I still get cranky at myself for not buying one of the three empty lots at $30K a pop that now are habitated by the big apartment complex that I stare out of our office at. Then I could have been part of the problem, AND made a big profit at the same time.
