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?

I got this from Luisa Oliveira. Can you post whatever replies you got from her or from Arn Franzen?

Yes, we have had some delays due to the manufacturing of pieces that had to be custom made to bring the play structure up to current safety recommendations. There are many elements to building a park that need to ordered/created outside the construction team and , unfortunately, they can hold up the process. We anticipate things getting back on track very soon. You can always find updates to all parks projects on the City’s website:

Thanks for your patience.

One might have thought these things would have been ordered somewhere back around the groundbreaking (which was what, almost a year ago now?) or before. Ah well.
