Is there any plans for the empty lot on the corner of Cherry and S. Division? I know the building that stood there burned down, I believe, almost 20 years ago.

Not sure. It is owned by the same developer now.

Ohhh, they're cutting holes in the North wall to add windows to this project. Hope the mural is staying!
