Shoppes, garage stalled

Work has stopped on the Century Building Memorial Parking Garage (also sometimes called the Ninth Street Garage), the structure being built on the Century Building site. The work stoppage started last Monday, when an irate Steve Stogel was seen inspecting the site and yelling at workers. Word on Olive Street is that there is a problem with the new piers poured this spring.

The ongoing folly of Stogel's abuse of the Century site continues. Perhaps leaving the Century base plates and basement walls in place left enough of that building's energy behind to fatally doom the garage and its shoppes. Or perhaps suing caring downtown residents is a self-cursing gesture.

We'll have more information as it comes in.
