The Dickson

I had forgotten about the name. Thanks for the link too.

Gee whiz. I will really miss Mr. Tux and that great art store there (NOT!)

Honestly, tho, if we ever get all these condos built we will be overbuilt. These are nice small units, tho, and I think that end of the market could still be really strong for a while.

May'be for Fayettevile it will seem overbuilt, but for the entire NWA metro, it will still be a bit below the national average.

Yeah I can't believe that arts store back there is still open. I still wonder if all these projects will go forward. Or maybe we'll end up with some less than full condo buildings. I suppose they would eventually sell. Maybe someone will get some good deals.

I imagine Fayetteville residents are pretty well aware of where all these developments already are. But for the rest of our forumers I thought I'd make a makeshift map of the developments near Dickson St.

Very nice. It's so sad to see that the Springs Streets Project is all alone.

I took some shots of where the Dickson is going to be.

[Mith242]

I never thought about it but I don't think I ever took any pics of this location yet.

This one will help get rid of that ugly parking lot. It's also going to contribute quite a bit of density as well.

Something has got to be done about the entire shopping center and parking lot. I wonder how long it will be after the Dickson gets finished that someone will either redo or tear down that strip center.

I like the old Mr. Tux building. It's old, but at least has an interesting design. But, something definitely needs to be done with the parking lot. I'd add a low wall along one side and some shrubs and a tree to the corner.

Yeah I can't believe that hobby shop is still back there. It's looking a bit rundown.

[Mith242]

That place is one of the worst stores I have ever been in. They have nothing--and what they do have is all dirty and shopworn and crusty. Their framing costs three times as much as Hobby Lobby. It's a totally bizzare place that needs to go.

I haven't been in that hobby store in a few years so I really can't comment on some of your opinions about the shop but there is so little retail left on Dickson Street I would be more supportive of maintaining and approving what is available. I'd rather see some retail on Dickson than more condos or bars at that location. We need a balanced blend of businesses.

[Mith242]

I am very supportive of more retail on Dickson, but strip center just needs to be fixed up some. It does not really fit in with the older or newer architecture anywhere on the street. But it has a great location.

If the Underwood building is built before the Mr Tux building begins construction, you will have a perfect example of the dichotomy of Dickson St, Old vs. New. The store behind Mr. Tux used to be a Piggly Wiggly.

Things are still moving along with this project according to the Arkansas Business Journal. It looks like they might begin construction sometime next year. After the start of the Spring semester at the U of A. The developers are trying not to try up parking at the bookstore during the beginning of each semester. Hopefully it will get going over the next month or two.

I don't know if it's cooperation, it sounds more like they're being forced into it from the way I read the article. Anyway I'm also wondering if they're keeping an eye out to see how the other condo developments do before they make a big move.

[Mith242]

Well we might get to hear more about this possible development soon. Mr Tux has apparently closed it's doors on Dickson and has moved to it's new location on Joyce.
