A couple of nuggets from recent development plans:
Making Way for Venu: Another Woodfield Centre tenant is moving to make way for redevelopment. Elan Furs has
filed plans to take space in Clearwater Shoppes at 3841 E. 82nd St. The retailer will take more than 7,000 square feet and
plans to open in January.
A Golfing Mecca: Another chain golf shop is planning a store for the Castleton corridor. Texas-based Golf
Etc. has filed plans for a location from 3853-3857 E. 82nd St., near Dean Road. The chain, which has 65 franchise stores nationwide,
is taking about 4,000 square feet. The area already is home to Golf Galaxy and Golfsmith.
Treadmill Trend: LA Fitness has filed plans for a location along Rockville Road, just east of Raceway Road.
The new facility will be roughly 45,000 square feet. Also, Brickhouse Fitness filed plans to take 4,000 square feet in Eagle
Creek Commons, at 6225 W. 56th St. The new center is locally owned.
New Spa Downtown: Villagio at Page Pointe is getting a spa. Body Works Day Spa has filed plans to take about
2,000 square feet in the new condo building at 435 Virginia Ave.
Whac-A-Mole. Apparently the amusement business is strong in Castleton. Chuck E. Cheese's is planning a renovation
and an addition of 2,600 square feet, for "pizza and games for children and adult entertainment." Awesome.

BTW, since you're talking about Clearwater, what's going/gone in where Lone Star used to be? I'm thinking everything you mentioned here is going in on the south side of 82nd, where Country Friends, Yield House, etc. were?
Also,
Wearing fur is tacky and cruel.
...less than 2 miles away who would go to the old one?
Venu prop on N side of 86th to be fairly dense residential. Hopefully they can start at a cheaper/young urban crowd price point. If so, I'd move there in a heart beat!
It would be terrible for Clearwater Crossing if that movie theatre leaves. There's already that enormous vacant area where that Block Party used to be. Hopefully something works out.
The Block Party isn't that where Music Mill is now?
The Music Mill replaced some other childrens entertainment place. Block Party is still vacant and it's behind the Clearwater Crossing stripmall (where Barnes & Nobles is). You can't see it from 86th street, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with this huge structure sitting vacant for many years.
