Work is finally progressing on the new Residence Inn near University Blvd and 20th Street. I had begun to wonder if the slowdown in the economy had killed that proposal, but I'm glad to see it hasn't. We're in desperate need of more hotels in and around Southside and downtown. And obviously hotels are great for result in other spin-off businesses that will be needed to serve the growing number of people that will be staying downtown.
Maybe I can snap a picture of the progress next week some time. There's not a whole lot to see just yet, but I was happy to see that work of any nature had begun at this site.
