P&L District: 13th & Walnut Site Proposal

[aknowledgeableperson]

Cordish's leases were based on ... having a sports team.

I doubt that. P&L District was conceived before SC and having a team was a long shot. Rents are high to recover the cost of P&L.

No.

Flying Saucer appears to be doing really well, I don't know why they'd bail.

+1 It appears to be quite busy every night of the week.

[aknowledgeableperson]

No.

What is it? Hanging around too much with your GOP friends? Or just got done reading something about Nancy Reagan?

[PumpkinStalker]

Please let it be something about Nancy Reagan

looks like Flying Saucer is building an outdoor patio on the western/Walnut St. exposure. They installed a door and stairs leading down to a partitioned off dining area. pretty cool.

Just saying I could see Flying Saucer leaving P+L. They'd be a nice fit in the area around 20th/Baltimore in the Xroads.

I do not agree about this patio. It is completely blocking the sidewalk and I wish they would not have built it on the already too narrow sidewalk. I think it is clearly for smokers as Flying Saucer's windows already open fully to the street in summer.

The whole design of that corner sucks if you ask me...windows should be at street level, not 10' up. I don't mind the patio...

They'd probably be nice fit anywhere in the metro.

Haha, I'm just the opposite. I like the windows how they are, the patio-as mentioned previously-I cannot stand. It's a smoker's pen.

[KCPowercat]

Best part of the smoking ban in my opinion....patios everywhere.

Hotel opens tonight. went to a pre opening event earlier this week and didn't find the place very impressive. lighting for a dance club were pretty unimpressive. maybe the music will save it. just a very uninteresting space.

Lucky Strike was an interesting place. I'm guessing they just chose not to renew their lease. Cordish's leases were based on high estimated traffic and having a sports team.

I'd prefer the whole bowling lounge go away.

I could see all the non-Cordish bars (flying saucer, GB, ?) leaving the area once leases run up.

Those are two of the busiest places down there and Cordish can't be making much money if they occupy all the leases. I would think they'd want more, not fewer, non-cordish concepts.

Excited to see what Tengo Sed becomes with the help of Port Fonda chef.

Anybody been here since the reopening?

[KCPowercat]

Heard Makers Mark is being replaced with a "gastropub"???

Also, did anything take over the bowling alley?

Damn. MM has always been something of a guilty pleasure for me. I like the idea of a cheesy big-name bourbon themed place, and it has an attractive, low-key bar and tons of bourbons with tasting sizes available. It is pricey, though, and the food isn't good.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. I've been in the live block hundreds of times and never once stepped foot into Makers Mark. I'm sure a lot of others echo that comment, hince why it's not doing that well.
