$150 Million Project In Our Neighborhood




The city of Tallahassee recently built Cascades Park - down the street from our home. It quickly became the beauty spot of the city - hosting concerts - festivals - and other activities. It was originally a "brown site" where the city's former coal fired power plant sat. Today the power plant is an upscale restaurant.

Now - a $150 million project is taking place along the northern edge of the park. It will feature a Loew's Hotel - retail outlets - and offices. The project is expected to take two years.

Lulu and I enjoy taking walks in the park. We have attended a Beach Boys concert in the open air amphitheatre there. Of course some people do not like change. An old county prison was removed to make way for the project.
