I just pray to God that they don't use the real estate for surface parking....
Sorry to inform you but there is a strong possibility that some of these places will be surface parking hopefully for only a short period. The grocery store on 6th Avenue and 13th street along with the warehouse next door is slated for an intramural sporting complex, I have not seen anything planned for the Purple Onion area so perhaps a surface lot there. They are looking at building a 9 story 780 bed dorm with a 400 seat dining hall in about 2 years or so on the property directly across from Al's on 10th Avenue between 17th and 16th Street. They are also looking for a space for the ROTC program that's now housed in the building next to the old grocery store on 6th Avenue South.
