The block where the Lido Cafe is - I understand is to be torn down and replaced with condos.

Coming soon: Ven, St. John's, Pixel, Avenue, Crossings

Troutman - there's a concept for the Osteria di Medici corner already. I believe it'll be modified even further. Not surprised there's a DP notice up already! Whatever happens on that site, it's going to be really cool.

As for that last link - can't stand people that complain like some of those in that article. I understand people like the character of the neighborhood, but technology and people evolve; why can't our neighbourhoods and buildings too? Nothing wrong with getting an injection of new design into a neighborhood that needs it, IMO. I grew up in that neighborhood for 20 years and I welcome the development that people want to see happen there.

I'm not sure how other people think about 10th street, but I hate the Lido cafe and the crap buildings along the east side of that road. There's so much potential to do some cool stuff there. Screw nostalgia... people need to understand that new development can be fun and exciting.
