Back in May, we told you that we were hearing rumors about the construction of a large, mixed-use development on the northwest corner of 16th & Washington. Details at the time were fuzzy, but we were optimistic that this development was indeed going to happen. Earlier this week at the

Last summer, we told you about plans for a new restaurant at 1646-48 S. 12th St. from Chris Scarduzio of the Table 31.
