FW Madigan

Bumped into Fran today. He is about two months away from moving into his new offices up on Chandler Street (I remember it as the old Weepin Willies Fruit Stand). Looks like he has a buyr for his old offices on Mason Street and his tenant the runs the Chinese market exercised their option,so if all goes as planned he will be completely out of the Mason/Dewey area.

You can look at this two ways. First, you got to wonder if Fran has won the bid for the Institutional Linen property maybe he would have stayed in the area. Second, the real estate market for commercial property is still strong here --good there we keep it BG zoned, versus the complete change to RG.

Powerful

You can do alot with this.. Links to articles like the one Rich told us about below, pictures (note Barneys Bicycle to the right) or maybe a link to their home page.

Business people are busy and it is pretty hard to co-ordinating business-owners to meet. I really think this is a good step.

Paulie's House Run

Here is a link to a story in the Boston Globe:

Think the run is a great idea, but this is not the type of press that helps.

Today's Meeting

Good meeting today. Lets get together in a couple weeks. At that time Laurel and myself will have met with Common Ground and have an update on the NRSA. We should also have an update on the parking overlay after meeting with Joel Fontaine.

By the way, here is an update from Paul Morano on Suney's progress with the facade program.

"Dan submitted the application, but he failed to complete all of the forms and info. As soon as we are squared away on our (the city) end, we need to sit down with Dan. We have enough to know that he is interested and it could be a great start to the program."
