Construction or.. even demo pics would be great!

Since you have such finesse and savoir faire in these matters, coupe, why don't you give Charlie a ring at Bow Tie? Tell him that you are being sought after by Richmond developers and that you might consider a bid from him in exchange for info and renderings.

[wrldcoupe4]

lol I wish I was sought after! I could try giving them a call, especially since we've seen demolition of 2 buildings on the block!

[Downtowner]

O know I would really like to see what this project is going to look like. I really hope they just don't do demolition then stop and wait for the developer to come up with the design and wait for the architect to do blue prints and all of that other stuff please let this thing start construction after demolition.

[wrldcoupe4]

To be honest, I'm surprised at how secretive Boe Tie has been with this project. We don't even have the slightest idea what it will look like!

[Downtowner]

I know thats one of the things that surprises me the most. Maybe there gonna do a tower along with the movie theater that would be nice.

[wrldcoupe4]

yes a tower would be VERY nice...

[Downtowner]

Wrldcoupe remember this we don't even know the cost of the project as well.

[wrldcoupe4]

Well I guess the good news is that at least we are seeing something productive happening on-site!

[Downtowner]

yep thats a great thing to hear I would really like to see pictures of this demolition progress. Coupe I hope you get a few before you head back up to school.

[wrldcoupe4]

I'll do my best to get some pics... I head back on Friday.

[Downtowner]

We will miss you coupe

[wrldcoupe4]

haha I'll still be around... just won't have many pictures to share (unless it involves NOVA/DC)

[Downtowner]

Yea i know coupe . Believe me Coupe I've seen enough of D.C. I've been up their at least 10 times within 17 years.

YES!!

[wrldcoupe4]

hahaha I knew someone would be happy about that

Coupe will put his Nova pictures on its own thread, won't you Coupe?.

[wrldcoupe4]

yeah... they'd go into guy's DC forum.

[burt]

Whew!!! Thanks. We have our own city to savor! If we feel so inclined, we can visit the Nova/DC site.

[wrldcoupe4]

Should I try to contact Bowtie? No one has tried since they've started demolition on the block...

maybe we should mention it to the Times Dispatch?

[wrldcoupe4]

tomorrow the weather is supposed to be crap, but I think I'll head downtown to take shots of this project... I just hope the rain holds off.

Absolutely! I wasn't kidding when I suggested it above.

[wrldcoupe4]

okay... I'll see about calling them tomorrow since the email doesn't ever seem to work. I'll also email the TD tonight (maybe Rayner would be the best to contact?)

Gilligan at the TD sometimes knows pretty much about what is going on.
