No doubt the building owner is looking to cash out and redevelop the property into more bullshite.



I genuinely believe that store/building should have historic/landmark zoning restrictions. You couldn't build a place with that much personality today. It's probably going to be a goddamn condo or boutique space.

The only way the owner could redeem this decision is by turning the existing building into a bar.

We'll probably continue to have the worst off campus scene of the big schools. No one get your hopes up

That whole area has become very fake and commercial since the early 90's....

I knew several people that rented apartments above those Chimes Street bars for less than $100 a month.

The owner owns all of that side of highland and hasn't changed it yet. Why would he change it now just because Clark couldn't make good on the rent. Good I hated that prick.
