I saw this program on public access the other day and thought it was worth sharing. Here is the link to the transcript-

I thought the info on the Grand Avenue redevelopment project in particular was quite interesting. It is under the Himmel heading.

Very interesting read. thanks. i really enjoyed the grand ave part especially the specialty store with 50,000 sf and the fact that there is an upscale hotel and 2500 housing units in the project. that is great news and that area is going to be off the hook. i cant wait for uit to start. i think ground breaking is early next year so its not that far off. by the way, would you mind if i post that link on ssp?

No problem, feel free to post the link.

That is one of very interesting thread, thank you so much. :)
