I like to go to Walmart early in the am. I just can't deal with all those people, it's nice around 7 am. When the one in Taylor opens up i'll be going to Dickson City for a while, because i'm thinking everyone will be in Taylor.

Once its actually open and lasts with all it units rented for a year, then maybe it will be considered a success.

There is still plenty of time for problems and issues to arise and tenants to not move in or move out once they realize that the downtown is dead, not dying, but DEAD.

The 500 block was a success in your eyes, you couldn't stop going on about it, well still feel that way? Its empty.

Nope....that's putting the cart before the horse. You need to invest in the neighborhoods, keep residents here, and attract new residents, and then the "core" will revive. "If you build it, they will come" is failed policy. Make the neighborhoods safe and clean with at least competitive taxes with surrounding communities, and the whole city will be better off in the long run, including downtown.

Exactly....its like a divorced guy still showing up to complain about what his ex-wife is doing.

But we better watch or this thread will degenerate into another RR pity party.

I don't mind when former residents of the area post here because they know what the area is like and such. I do, however, have a HUGE issue with someone who moved away because he (a) couldn't find a job here, (b) found the culture unwelcoming to his alternative lifestyle (though I have friends who disagree with him there) and (c) thinks the overall tone of the area is negative, then turning around to complain about CURRENT residents stating the same things!!!

I don't get it.

Where is YOUR investment Paul? Oh that's right. It's in NoVA and soon to be in Pitt. Pfffttt. Put your money where your mouth is.

When people disagree with his opinion, Reston's posts come of as whiny b*tchfests, nothing more. (And for the record, I'm not coming out and calling the POSTER a whiny b*tch, just his posts.)

Most? Try three or four. MOST of us took a "wait and see" attitude.

Care to elaborate? What is it exactly that is proving the success? Are these units actually occupied? Are the tenants actively contributing to the local economy? REPEATING MY QUESTION......How many of these units have YOU rented?
