New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Exciting revised sketches reveal River View's new clothes.
Oops -- my bad. It's the book I recently finished, not the new drawings of River View.
However, at Tuesday morning's Merchant Mixer meeting, Mike Kopp showed them to attendees, with the comment that the previous architect never properly finished illustrating the exteriors, which led to some people (even politicians, those most reliable arbiters of taste) having a bad impression of the project.
Mike also showed us the floor plan of the 4,800-sq. ft., top-of-the-line condo, priced at $1.2 million. He reported that within days, fresh information and visuals will be released to the public, and that all systems are go for the developers to begin accepting letters of commitment and deposits.
Previous architect? Is Mose no longer involved?
ReplyDeleteI heard a while back that Mose was no longer involved; yesterday, Mike mentioned the original architect and the new one. I doubt that the developers ever said anything publicly about the change.
ReplyDeleteIn that case, I shall make assumptions and hope his insider knowledge led him to believe the project is a dead end. May not be true in terms of ongoing negotiations, but I'll temporarily feel better about the city's future.
