Wilson Middle School closing would be interesting in that their large property fronts 11th St by TU.  That could be an opportunity for TU to expand in that direction.  That's right next to where they are renovating the old Campbell Hotel.

I think this would be a great spot for a cool mixed use with a hotel;the auditorium at Wilson is nice and would make a great event space. How many hotels have basket ball courts?

Might work better being acquired by TU. The Guido School of Politics at TU?

Barnard would make a great gated community but I don't know about the ROI and risk in this housing market. Although, Teatown is better off than anywhere in Arizona where %70 of homeowners are under water.

Have they had a lot of rain lately?

I'm sure TU would be interested.  They could use it as a research facility/conference center, who knows.  Redevelopment of that site would certainly help the Renaissance neighborhood, which is more rundown past Columbia though getting better each year.

The Yorktown neighborhood is pretty desirable so if they wanted the land for new homes or townhouses they would sell.  Not sure how that jives with HP overlay zoning, does it affect new development or just existing structures?

Actually the weather has been great, and we had really good attendance for Cactus League spring training, near record numbers.

Good.  After the post that 70% of Arizona home owners are under water I wondered if I missed something on the news.
;D

It affects new construction, too.

I just figured they would all be turned into nursing homes.

Too bad TPS has to go to extremes to save money, and not do lots of little things that have worked elsewhere (like turning off their all-night floodlighting).

I won't say that it isn't bad here, but it's not what was stated.
