I am actually really excited about this project, an initiative to revitalize the theater district downtown. I always get a little nostalgic when I walk there, funny since I wasn't around yet when the theaters were still open. But the theaters continue to stand, unoccupied or being used as small stores.
Bringing Broadway Back is aiming to put these building back to their original use. The plans look pretty amazing- the Eastern Building downtown has become my favorite and these seem to be going along with that feel. A few weeks ago the project organized a walk along Broadway, and I am looking forward to getting feedback on the project's progress.

My favorite thing about the project? It looks like it's working with downtown, not trying to cover it up. All the storefronts will be facing the street, the word "high-class" has never been thrown around in reference to the apartments that will be placed above the theater, and they are already getting the community involved. Very exciting!
