Unfortunately, I have no updates as of yet on the pizzeria owner; but I have not forgotten about it and plan to call in this Thursday. Another story caught my interest as I was doing my interviews for a profile story, however.
On Metropolitan Ave., a few minutes from where I live, there is a big Home Depot store and a Sports Authority that have been there for years. Then, last year, a Trader Joe’s and another store were built on the oversized parking lot that was allocated to Sports Authority. And now, according to Marie Lopresti, the city Board of Education is planning to build a school there as well. This would be very interesting because it will serve as a catalyst for the already changing Metropolitan Ave. ”It would mess things up even more,” as Mrs. Lopresti had put it.
I have not yet been able to find information to confirm the project, which could be done as soon as 2010, but have emailed some people at the Board and see what happens!
