Any word on the Korean Restaurant that was going to go in the ExDonalds? There seems to be nothing happening there.

And speaking of nothing happening, how come the city ripped out Kenney Park and then stopped working? The park's been out of commission for months of just sitting there a mess. Shame on them for doing the demo when they weren't ready to do the reconstruction; it's a waste of good space.

Anyone have the scoop on either of these?

Man I really hope the Korean restaurant still comes in!

I completely agree with both statements. We could have really used that playground this summer & the Korean BBQ place would be awesome. It seems like there's been a lot of halted work on a lot of places in the square.

We're waiting on Kindred Tea, the Korean Bubble Tea place, social security building (seriously hope Roche Bros goes in), the gross building next to Rosebud, Rosebud (although they look like they're making progress), kennedy playground & park, M3, Eleni's tailor space, and what's happening with Pinkberry?

Ugh! That's a lot!!

I frequently walk by Kenney during the day and see something going on. Most recently it was around the sewers, so perhaps it's a plumbing issue?

I'm not sure why they even needed to do anything with Kenney park except maybe make the water feature work again. I think it was a waste of money to tear up the whole area.
I hope this wasn't the CPA tax money at work..

Yeah, sorry about the Kennedy bit, my phone autocorrected Kenney to Kennedy.

Btw, the whole climbing structure needs to be revamped. It's hard for kids under 3 to climb up on it (& the proposed toddler area just includes a small balance piece of equipment-not enough to keep them busy). The bridge is way too saggy & the bridge surface was so worn out that even I slipped on it. I wish they would just put a new structure in like they did at Hodgkins-Curtin. Those structures are great for all ages & we absolutely could use something just like that on this side of the square. We also walk by daily & have not seen much construction on most days. I also hope that they put a rubberized surface down over the gravel that's there because leaving it gravel would just be a serious accident waiting to happen.

I had no doubt that you meant Kenney, not Kennedy. But, the "Tot Lot" at the Kennedy School on Elm Street *is* also expected to be renovated soon.
