“Dear PoPville,
Renovation of the corner house on the southeast corner of 13th and Harvard is underway. We’re delighted. Then we noticed a huge slab on the front yard. Turns out the developer was able to split the corner lot and is building a two-story apartment building in front of the majestic corner house! (more…)

Thanks to a reader for passing on this intriguing update from the organizer of a proposal to revive the Uptown:
“Dear Neighbors, Friends and Supporters of the Uptown:
Thank you again for all your support and enthusiasm for our idea to revive the Uptown as a center for arts, film and education.
As you know, last week we submitted our proposal and letter of intent to lease the property. The owners got back to us this week to say that while they are impressed with our efforts and appreciate our vision, they have entered into a letter of intent with an “arts/theater group” that they believe “will change the course of the Uptown and the neighborhood.” (more…)

Last week we spoke about the the status of the old Superfresh in Spring Valley.
Thanks to Jonathan for sharing:
“Well, this is the location that Plum Market (based out of Ann Arbor, MI) lists as a future location. Their locations in Michigan are fantastic and this would be a great addition to the neighborhood.”
STAY TUNED.

“Dear PoPville,
Change of plans at Spring Valley Superfesh? A couple weeks ago fences went up limiting (but not restricting) access to the parking lot. Late last week the graffiti that had collected was painted over, and this weekend a “For Lease” sign went up on the building. There is also a “For Lease” sign on the space that used to house DeCarlo’s. Did the developers finally give up in light of neighborhood resistance and interest rates?”
