Thanks for the link, looks nice! I used to hate the new theater Regal built, but it seems to be blending better and better as the buildings around it are rehabilitated or updated.

What's the status on the "Glass Sidewalk" proposal? That sounded freakin' sweet and would be a definite draw for people to come downtown.

Very cool!

Whoa, a glass sidewalk? Why have I not heard this mentioned before?

Thanks for the link! That's really cool stuff - good to see downtown getting more renovations.

I think Voldude's referencing the glass panes that were set into the sidewalk every once in a while, to provide light down to the "subterranean" original Gay Street underneath the current one.

Last I heard the city was on board with that proposal.

Yeah. They had to raise up Gay Street a long time ago. It shut out some of the first floor businesses. There's been all kinds of talk about things to do down there, and the adding of glass sidewalks but last I heard it was up in the air.
