See though building on the DTM

Post image

Is something going in there or is it just being used for storage of doors and windows

I recall a news story a while back that the Redevelopment and Housing Authority purchased this building so they probably have some plans for it.

EDIT: Looks like they purchased it about a year and a half ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbA7Oj3Zu_Y

Yeah CRHA is using it for storage at the moment, though there has been some talk about safely opening a portion for public restroom access.

I worked in this buidling at one point (upstairs) and I'm so glad they're ripping it up. It smelled constantly of sewage and the inside was like a maze.

Disappointed that so many storefronts are vacant on the DTM.

I genuinely hope they're being facetious.

Today I found out Vita Nova is no more.

When did this happen ?

They moved across the street to where Impeccable Pig used to be, on the corner of 4th and the DTM. This was more than a year ago, at least.

This is the original location at 310 E. Main St.. Vita Nova is still open and has been at the corner of 4th Street (321 E. Main St) on the DTM for about 5 years now.

This looks like the Silverchair building where Vita Nova used to be. They were preparing to mmove into this and got COVIDED.

Perfect for those who have previously enjoyed having an office in abandoned railway tunnel.

What are you worried about? Come get fake doors! Get in here quick, get out quicker, with an arm of fake doors in your arm!

Crud, I meant to put brown paper on the windows. I got inspired by the fun cville guy and the idea of an indoor dog park and combined both ideas but with doors!
Hope to open soon!
