Is it still standing? I know the mother ship of all Stone and Thomases is in Wheeling, and they aren't doing anything with that either.

I think it is great that they found something positive to do with the store in Huntington. Maybe they can make some money selling art stuff there too?

Having a gallery with works for sale is part of the plan. The model they are following is a good one. The Art Dept. gets more space with increased visibility, an art supply store is supposed to go next door (bringing more business) and there are more people downtown to use existing businesses. I can't wait until it's done.

Tim, is that the building across from Pullman Plaza on 3rd Avenue?

[tbailey1138]

Yep, right across from Pullman Square. It's one of the few buildings in that block not owned by Dr. Touma. Having that building done will complete the remodel of that whole block. I also noticed a work permit at the place beside T.K. Dodrill Jewelry the other day. Hopefully something good will be going in there soon.

A mid range men's clothing store would fit in nice on that block.

I agree. I think something like Bath and Body works would be good there as well. Recognizable name with an inexpensive product.

^^^ Looks great, can't wait until it gets going because that will be a great addition to the already "hot in activity" Downtown area.
