If you have been downtown lately, you may have noticed that the "Phoenix Project" is moving along quite swiftly. Above the dry cleaners and a few other stores, there will be a 2nd floor added above 4 storefronts. Also, the colorful house just next door should be coming down shortly. A new building would go up in its place, 3 or 4 stories high, and a mix of retail, office, and residential.

The "old hotel" just next door to that, there hasn't been much progress. It is a sad day if the building gets torn down due to lack of forward action.
All for now,
