But what if it has 9800 ft2 retail and a 3800 ft2 rooftop terrace bar/restaurant?

Spenser, I took the survey and guess what I said throughout. MORE CONNECTIVITY OF ALL THE PARKS WITH DEDICATED MULTI-USE BIKE/PEDESTRIAN PATHS!!!! 

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

That’s the one main reason I regret not moving out to WG - cycling out there is just so easy and fun.

Hizzoner Buddy Dyer was on Central Florida Spotlight with Greg War moth again yesterday.

In case anyone missed it, he covered a wide variety of subjects beginning with CV and what's coming next, Parramore and affordable housing, Sunrail planned expansions and tie in with Brightline, planned improvements at Camping World, fire dept leadership and the possibility of getting a baseball team.

Link to video. (22 minutes): https://www.wftv.com/video?videoId=984114553&videoVersion=1.0

Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Cafe in Beautiful Downtown Sanford, arguably the best German restaurant in the region, is adding a rooftop Biergarten boosting the occupancy to 500 seats.

Meanwhile, we’re getting a DGX in Downtown Orlando. Gen. Sanford may get the last laugh after all...

No doubt, those Sanfordians are green with envy towards us.

Horizon West, Orange County’s fastest growing area, is bursting at the seams and stressing out the area’s schools and infrastructure.

I had to chuckle. One of our posters kept telling us how worthless the theme parks are and only the transients are interested.

It seems proximity to WDW is one of Horizon West’s biggest features and the average house is 400K+. Certainly less than say, Windermere, but still a chunk of change.

Article today in the Sentinel about the City taking over the Plaza Live venue and planned renovations:   https://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/arts-and-theater/os-et-orlando-philharmonic-plaza-live-city-orlando-20191022-iss4hinyjjextjbfbws4xmbmyq-story.html

The City purchased back the venue from Orlando Philharmonic and is planning to do $10 of renovations to the property and   facade including   a new exterior plaza with an indoor outdoor bar, new signage and facade updates, new HVAC , seating and finishes inside and new Roof.

With the city buying it, they can use tourist tax dollars to fund the updates. They will then lease back the space to Orlando Philharmonic for $1 a year so that Orlando Philharmonic can continue to utilize and maintain the space and events, freeing them up for more flexibility financially.  Construction is a way out, expected to start in 2021.

As a tax-free enterprise, I owe you $0.04, it's a solid handle man.  It even has a fancy pushbutton. 

Oh, OK then.

I didn't know it was a screen door handle.

Great value engineering, cost cutting move there!!! :thumbsup:

And very Orlando.
