Yeah, I'll admit it's come along way... I just don't think it's really as cool as some of the hype it gets. The area has come a really, really long way since the 90's! A friend of mine owned Axiom Piercing which was down by Blazing Saddles and sometimes we would hang out at the Axiom and play Risk or something. Out the store window was some really great people watching because that area was extremely seedy. The ice rink does look kind of cool. I've only been there during the summer (when there's no ice of course) for an ARL event with my dog though. |

There's the Allied headquarters, but I don't think that's going to be all that high... Just a really big building. I see some construction downtown, but I'm not sure what's being put up.

Hi Stevie,
The Davis Brown Tower is under construction right now at 13 floors. There are a couple of 10 story condo towers that have been announced for 2008 and a 14 story mixed use building, but who knows with the housing market. Wellmark will be building a new headquarters, but it sounds like it will be 5 stories, so expect a fairly massive, but short building there. A lot of people were hoping Wellmark was going to go tall, but oh well, at least they will add to the infill. ![]() |
