I've heard the name before, but I have no idea who she is or what she does.

Her mom still lives in Melbourne where she grew up. And she was a regular at the tigers games of course when he was with them.

^^The plaza next door (facing Michigan) is finally getting a facelift. I feel like much of the revitalization is focused on Orange Ave, but Michigan St is being treated like the ugly stepchild.

Yeah that’s the future home or Donut Expirament.    I wouldn’t say Michigan is doing terrible.  Between Fern Creek and Orange you have recent additions of Swirlery, Gringos, Tin & Taco and the donut place,   Of course Johnnys and Sister Honeys are already staples.   The brownstones at Michigan and Osceola are pretty significant.

Id be as bold as to say the offerings are getting close to being on par with Corinne and the future is much brighter.   

X Factor will be what happens to the strip mall with Ross, in my opinion.    If that somehow became mixed use housing and retail, you’ll see Wadeview Park scale up multi family along the south side of the neighborhood the way it is now on the west side between Delaney and Orange.

Was there on opening day. Posted about it. Bought a gluten free frozen pizza with veggies and fake veggie meat (pretty bad) and a couple of non-dairy, gluten free "cheezecakes". That's cheeze with a "z" because there was no actual cheese in it, so they couldn't legally call it cheesecake. Not bad. I only bought them because they were on sale for $4 bucks each. Got a chocolate and a strawberry.

Also got a free gallon jug of water.

I hope they don't leave it bright white like it is now.

Earth Fare signage 

[codypet]

I like that!

[orlandoguy]

That’s great to see. I honestly thought Earth Fare had pulled out or something based on the lack of progress in what I assumed was their space (the NE corner).

They’ve been working on it. Fridges are in there and everything. Seems to be not too far off actually.

SODO is going to be Orlando's midtown in the future.

I was told it is actually downtown.

Earth Fare announced opening date. Wednesday, March 20th 

[codypet]

So I hit up the Payless at Market on Southside before it closed and I was amazed at the sheer number of vacant storefronts in that plaza.  The Publix side is fine, but the old side where Panera/Bealls used to be....man its empty.

[JFW657]

I heard the owners are only taking short term, 1 yr leases.

Could be a major announcement coming soon.
