Look
for our next eMain Neighborhood update on September 12, 2001.
Main Neighborhood Team Meeting and Reports
Carlysle Building
A press conference
was held on August 27 announcing that Adhawks and Hospitality House
located to the Carlysle Building. This means the building is now
fully occupied with commercial and residential tenants.
Clock Tower Building
The City is planning to move its Center
for Downtown Development and the Department of Technology into the
building. The City has developed a workforce initiative with JCPS
high school juniors and seniors interested in internships with technology
companies in eMain. This
program will also be housed at the Clock Tower Building.
The following are some upcoming events
at the Clock Tower:
-
August 29, 2001, 5 – 7 PM: Fastbreak @ 5.
-
October 5, 2001: Clock Tower is hosting a stop on the Main
Street Progressive Dinner.
-
November 15, 2001, 5 – 7:30 PM: GLI Business Break sponsored
by Richard Pennington & Skinner and Bellermine Center for eWorld
Education.
Garage @ 1st and Main Streets
Construction is expected to begin in early September.
Completion is expected in 15 months.
When completed, the garage will have 650 spaces.
Slugger Field
The microbrewery and steakhouse will
be constructed over the winter. They are scheduled to open in April
2002.
Water
Front Park Place
The tower crane
is under construction. Steel should be in the 2nd week
of September.
A works in progress
Glitter, glass
and the glamour of art is the mix for the new Glassworks building
that partially opens this week on West Market Street. Despite the
debris and dust of construction, the shape of what's to come is
clear. The ambitious project is intended to be more than a stop
for gallery-hoppers: It is expected to change the face and habits
of Louisville.

A
renaissance in Butchertown
The
community has been undergoing a metamorphosis, emerging as a chic
district for young professionals, artists and interior designers
and decorators who are buying and renovating historic homes and
opening studios there. Part of Butchertown's revival can be credited
to the infusion of nearly $90 million in city and state projects
along its borders -- Louisville Slugger Field, a planned extreme
sports park, the expansion of Waterfront Park and the Home of the
Innocents campus.

As
PC turns 20, nostalgic look back
"Amazing
Telephone Breakthrough! Cordless Handset Gives You ‘Walk & Talk' Convenience Without
Tangling Cords!" Don't worry, this isn't a report about decades-old
technology. It's a headline from a 1981 RadioShack catalog. With
the PC turning 20 this month, now is a ripe opportunity to take
a spin down memory lane.
New modem puts a little pep into dial-up service
If
you're still using a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, you
are no doubt well aware of its drawbacks. Even with a 56 kbps modem,
connecting to your Internet service provider can be painfully slow,
uploading can sometimes occur at a snail's pace, and you could be
missing important calls if you don't have two phone lines. But a
recent change in the way 56k modems communicate wipes out all of
these hassles.
