Save the Victoria Theatre!!


825 University - The Old Victoria Theater is in Danger

I have been working with a group of people interested in buying and renovating the old theater at the intersection of University and Victoria. The building was originally built as a theater for silent movies, then next used as a music venue. Our vision is to restore the building back to its music and art purpose.

Unfortunately, it may be torn down to make a parking lot. We are hoping to work with the neighbors on the block to come up with a better solution. There are many buildings on University that may not be worth saving, but I've been through this building and it has promise.

There is a neighborhood visioning meeting at the Rondo Library Wednesday Oct. 21,
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

This is a chance to keep a little gem from being razed! Please help us by contacting the mayor's office, or Council Member Stark's office and tell them to save the Victoria.

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's)  This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building.  We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Love The Chromazone murals!

This is one of my favorite murals by artist Chuck U. It's painted on 2290 Wycliff, close to my office. The Creative Enterprise Zone did a great job with the mural fest!  It makes the neighborhood feel more vibrant. So much is happening here, but sometimes we fly under the radar. I've always felt that the people in the Creative Enterprise Zone knew we had a lot going on, but now we have visual proof!    It will be fun to see what the CEZ comes up with next. 

Platform Apartments Really Taking Shape!

The construction site is very busy at University and Hampden where the Platform Apartments are under construction.  This is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood - replacing two blighted buildings - turning the corner into a beautiful place to live.   A roof top patio will be a great amenity, as will the underground parking lot.   We are excited for our new neighbors to move in this fall.  St. Anthony Park is really growing - adding many new neighbors close to University.  Hopefully this development will bring a new restaurant!
