The Broadbent Co. plans to begin construction soon on a new restaurant strip in front of its Greenwood Place shopping center at U.S. 31 South and Shelby Street. The 7,100-square-foot center will include a Dunkin Donuts with a drive thru, a Moe's Southwest Grill and Noodles & Co., said Broadbent's Jeff Roberts. The center is scheduled to open in the Fall. Greenwood Place is anchored by Flower Factory, Lifestyle Family Fitness and United Art & Education. Broadbent launched a redevelopment of the center about two years ago after a tornado damaged it.

    I heard they were going to build a Dunkin at South Madison and County Line Rd. Did this change or will there be two down south?

    Way off topic, but was curious if anyone had any news on the auction of the former Payton Wells lots from yesterday?

    Chris: The auction of the Payton Wells properties has been delayed. Stay tuned for more.

    Kathy: I'm not familiar with the other Dunkin Donuts plans.

    Chris....My husband and I bought carpet for our grand daughter at Floors To Go just before they tore down the old store. The salesmen told us that Walgreens had been asking to buy that corner from them for sometime so the carpet store finally sold to them . He also informed us that Dunkin was possibly building in that area too and that also Starbucks was looking at the location. But he said Starbucks would probably not build there if Dunkin did. I think it would be great to now have Starbucks in that area and Dunkin at Greenwood Place. I just can't imagine that they would be Dunkin in both places so close together.

    Kathy -

    Did you tell the salesman at Floors To Go that they constructed the ugliest building on the south side?

    I will never figure out how that pastel orange and yellow montrosity got approved.

    Say Anything....I really don't have a problem with the new building. I love bright and bold. You have to admit it's an improvement over the old building.

    Kathy,

    I try to be open minded about a lot of design, but I have several problems with the new Floors To Go. The color scheme is minor compared to how bad the overall building looks.

    With the way the site is graded, the building looks even taller than it really is, therefore drawing attention to an already bad design. It's obvious they are trying to have a taller building that the new Walgreens, which is the only explanation for making it 30+ feet tall.

    Scott Cox (Peacock Development) will pretty much allow anything just to get Walgreens onto a site.

    I will admit the development as a whole is an improvement, but I still won't like the Floors To Go.

  1. A non-compete clause is expected to keep Buchman from appearing on-air at WTHR for a year from the WISH contract’s expiration.

  2. In my opinion the estridge companies are crooks. They filed bankruptcy on their 'track housing' side of the business two weeks before they closed on one of my clients' homes. When my client first interviewed Estridge as a builder 6 months before, they specifically ASKED about the solvency of their business, knowing that some builders were struggling. Estridge truly misrepresented their financial situation at that time. I suppose I am more unhappy with the whole system than I am with the builder because what the heck==you can file bankruptcy on 'track homes' but still keep building and make money off of 'custom built' homes??? How ridiculous! They are all homes. How can a company be allowed to bilk thousands of dollars from their subcontractors but still be allowed to build houses?? they should have been made to pay back all their unpaid contractors before being allowed to profit from building any more houses! This alone makes them and the system crooks in my eyes. I would never build an estridge home and I would not recommend for my clients either. If they were truly 'bankrupt' how could they afford to keep building homes anyway??? The whole system needs fixed.

  3. I live a couple blocks east of the Angie's campus and my house is assessed for ~$160,000. If I could get that amount, let alone $384,000 (a 140% bonus), I'd sell in a minute. Either Angie's stockholders just got fleeced, or Angie's is getting about a 58% discount on their property taxes, if these properties are actually worth what they paid Mr. Oesterle for them. Which do you think is the case?

  4. Perhaps the IMA board is really to blame! They agreed to hire Charles. They can't seemingly find donors among themselves, or bring in new blood that will support the museums operating budget with an expanded museum and money to provide curators with something to do (ie buy art). The headlines of disarray at the museum and mass firings are hurting the reputation of the museum for some time to come. If people on the board had misgivings, perhaps they shpuld have more forcefully opposed efforts that they have seemingly been unable to fund, like expansion and the costs it has created!

  5. See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
