Well, the subject line may be a tad misleading, but has anyone else noticed that there are now lights on the outside of the building (facing Second). Sure, it could just be the parking lot guy, but he sure hasn't done much work to keep up the lot, one of the worst downtown, so who knows? Today lights on the side, tomorrow a renovated hotel! haha Baby steps.  | ||

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of ya, 313. I snapped some and will post when I get home from work. Really not that impressive, though. Still, an improvement. | ||

Photos of the lights on the Fort-Shelby. Not that impressive, really, though I also got some pretty spooky-ass photos of it. Spectre-riffic! http://s152.photobucket.com/al bums/s164/rhymeswithrawk/Pick% 20Fort-Shelby%20Hotel/ | ||

Let's hope the construction doesn't kill the hawk that lives in there. Neighbors are worried. It needs to be moved. | ||

Hope it goes into construction and the hawk is OK as well | ||

They will need a chain saw to cut down some of those trees on the roof. | ||

Is there going to be a parking garage with this project too? Say on that lot behind the hotel? I | ||

It's very exciting to see this finally happen. I look at that empty building every night, it will be great to see something besides the progression of graffiti. | ||

It's going to be a really long tunnel to get from a renovated Pick-Fort Shelby to the GCP garage. (I'm assuming that you are actually referring to the Broderick Tower parking.) | ||

Will there be ground floor retail in the parking deck?? | ||

Hold on, I am sure the GCP response was a mixup as it is April 2nd now and the jokes have stoped, however, can someone confirm that there will be one for the Ft. Shelby or not? | ||

Hey Llyn, speaking of Broderick have you heard anything new about that project? | ||
Apbest Member Username: Apbest Post Number: 512 Registered: 03-2006 |
oh wait, Im stupid...I was just reading the broderick tower thread right before this sorry | ||

The 2001 plans that fell through called for a parking deck to be built next to the building. | ||
