It's in a great building, but suffers severely from being an island in a sea of asphalt.  If this building were part of an intact block (instead of the lone survivor of a German Luftwaffe bombing mission...oh wait, we destroyed these ourselves...), it would have more opportunities for creating synergy and success.

The building is the former Midland Valley rail depot and the sea of asphalt are the former rail yards. There were no buildings there historically. It's an ideal spot for infill or for extending Greenwood Avenue southward to increase connectivity.

I thought the TDA was working with a developer to build in the empty lot just west of Utopia on Franfort: mixed use retail and residence.

To the east Micha has plans to infill on 3rd moving west from "the Bend"

Thanks for the correction.  I just made an assumption based on our typical past/current destructive behavior!

I see museum and tourist opportunities splattered all over this.

We'd get crazy amounts of federal assistance if we can make this fly.

We need a good back story.  Who's got one?.

Edit: we need to leave the Boulder bridge the way it is...that way we can say it's our "bridge of rememberence".

So who is buying tulsawasbombedbythenazis.com?
