I'm actually very excited about the changes going down on "Car Strip". Here we have a new building for Tallahassee DCJ, and then there's the new Mazda Store thats going to be built on Capital Circle, as well as the New Toyota Store across the street from its current location with hopes to bring Lexus to town very soon.

Not to mention, the "major redevelopment" we've heard quite a bit about going down at the south west corner of Capital Circle and Tennessee Street. From what I'm told, most of the available parcels for that development are already spoken for, and the shovels should be going down in the near future.

You know they should just rename it from Tennessee street to Tennessee Strip. That's all that road has become. It has everything on the road from Car dealerships to clubs, to a kinkos's. I am glad that the westside of town is also getting some play.

West side needs some serious play. Honestly, it needs to be overhauled. It is blight from Monroe to Capital Circle, with relief at Ocala and Woodward. The area needs to find its identity, or identities (if FSU wants to do its thing, TCC wants to do its thing, Car dealers want to do their thing) it needs to find some theme and run with it. Matter of fact it would be kinda neat to see Flag poles on along the road with the Checkerd Flags along the Car Strip, and Blue and Yellow along the TCC strip, and Garnet and Gold along the FSU strip. Same thing for FAMU along Adams and Orange and Gaines.

Nope, cool idea would never happen,,, It would be deemed to tacky!!! the color coded flags near the universites would be neat, but i dont think the city would go for it, at all.

Why not?!?! You know what else we should do... on the Car Strip, we should paint checkards at the intersections of Tennessee and CC, Tennessee and Appleyard, Tennessee and Blounstown, Tennessee and White. That would be nice!!!

I know he didn't just try me!  

[csmurphy8885]

I love the flagpole idea... but anything would be neat... haveing the city divided into sections (IE Gaines, Frenchtown) would help for marketing the areas attractions.  Something else to consider when designating areas, easier transit, and more colorful maps!

^Thanks for not shooting down my idea CMurphy... I knew I could count on you ol buddy!

Yo... something fun! Zaxbys says it will open Oct 10 at its new Tennessee Street location where Miami Subs used to be. I'm excited. I'll be able to ride my bike over for some good chicken. I love Zaxbys. I just hope they don't hire a staff of jerks.

and the one near my place (Old Miami Subs on N. Monroe) should be open in about 6 weeks.

Hmm, When i used to eat fried food, I enjoyed Guthries more than Zaxby's.. Exact same type of restaurant, devilish good chicken fingers, fries, and cola!!!



Too bad i cant have any of it,, my diet doesnt allow any sodas, beef, or fried foods....

[Florida]

I spyed something... not sure if anyone cares to see another one of these. And I'd love to tell you where its going to be but I was only able to catch a glimpse of it at a sales office on FSU campus. Here's a rendering I snapped from the door of the sales office.



Look for that website to be up soon.

DT project map... rough draft needing input.  I think i would like to do a larger one with the university projects... but the maps just so old, it is missing alot.  

[Florida]

Nice Map CSMurphy.

[NCB]

^Thanks for posting the map!

[csmurphy8885]

I had it...just didnt know what to do with it...

[Florida]

Great work CMurphy. I think you should go ahead and add the Marriott Convention Hotel to it. And the All Saints District got cut off!

Maybe I could do a downtown project's index or something for it. What do you think?
