Just a little tidbit, but this could be very good for turning the Design District into a real living and breathing neighborhood.

SCTV TO LOCATE

STUDIO-CLUB IN MIAMI

A new comedy cable channel scheduled to launch in January 2005 is planning to locate one of its four combination studio-comedy clubs in downtown Miami.

Called Stand Up Comedy Television (SCTV), the Chicago-based channel will also have Studio Stages in Chicago, Phoenix and Los Angeles. Only the Chicago site has been acquired so far, but the company is actively seeking a spot in Miami's Design District, said Avi Fox, co-chairman of SCTV's parent company ECmi.

The Studio Stages will double as venues for stand-up comedians and as working studios where game shows, revues and interviews will be produced and taped.

It's good to hear about more development in the Design District. I'm glad to see that there is some nice investment in this neighborhood. Can't wait to visit!
