Especially given the water issues down there (my mom still lives in GSO), it would be nice to see something done with the roof spaces...gardens, water capture, etc., along with any other structural/decorative choices that could be made in favor of sustainable building practices and energy efficiency.<BR/><BR/>But overall, it could be much fuglier, and pricier. Nice. And nice that there seems to be some dialogue with the neighborhoods surrounding, as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159479.post-92010077175051744862007-06-07T08:20:00.000-05:002007-06-07T08:20:00.000-05:00I think this is the building on Broad that is comp...I think <A HREF="http://www.blvdcentro.com/wsalem/broad.htm" REL="nofollow">this is the building on Broad</A> that is complete.jimcasertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07599825260220591595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159479.post-66504407733837025882007-06-07T08:18:00.000-05:002007-06-07T08:18:00.000-05:00The drawings look a lot like some new condos build...The drawings look a lot like some new condos build in Winston on Broad St. I tried to find the exact website, but here is one example of what is new to the area between West End & the heart of downtown:<BR/>http://www.blvdcentro.com/wsalem3/4thgreen.htm<BR/>That location should 'improve' when WS builds the new ballpark downtown.<BR/><BR/>Good news!jimcasertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07599825260220591595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159479.post-10068403715043635922007-06-07T07:23:00.001-05:002007-06-07T07:23:00.001-05:00empty tester?

I'm not a young professional (sadly, I'm closer to middle aged than young at this point!), and I'm not an empty tester, however, my parents are and I'm trying to convince them to move down here. In a lot of ways that might be something they'd like, but I know my mom worries about being too close to the neighbors with condos and townhouses, and my father still enjoys mowing the lawn. But, perhaps if the price is right...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
