Has it ever occurred to you that a simple ability to believe in possibilities is as important as deep pockets when it comes to improving the world?
A showcase on on Main Street; Buildings to become offices and stores, by Sheldon S. Shafer (short shelf life for Courier-Journal links).
A block of century-old buildings that was once the heart of Louisville's downtown whisky district will be transformed into a $50 million commercial showplace with offices and retail stores selling clothing, jewelry and furniture.
That's what investor Todd Blue sees with his "Iron Quarter" project -- a 12- to 14-story glass and steel complex to be built incorporating some of the currently run-down facades along Main Street between First and Second, near the planned downtown arena.
Guess I am in a contrary mood today.
ReplyDeleteBelieving in possibilities is great but I would point out, in that same article, someone else had a vision for that same property and, evidently, not deep enough pockets.
Did not want you to feel ignored!(smile)
One thing I love about Louisville - beautiful buildings...beautiful people. Hope this flies and there is more of 'em.
