Construction in Aggieville

[GregKSU1027]

"what used to be the Dusty Bookshelf" as in it's now burned the eff down, or it was previously closed?

It has been boarded up for weeks. I'd say since December, I went over there to look for a used book and they were closed. They hadn't taken any of the books out so I'm sure that fire isnt going to go out for a while.

WRONG!

They were doing some remodeling and were staining some floors. Dirty rags were left in the back and POOF, you get a fire.

[yoga-like_abana]

so the rags magically caught on fire?

[Gooch]

Spontaneous combustion.

[kslim]

so the rags magically caught on fire?

yes, rags can have a spontaneous combustion depending on what solvent is on said rag

[yoga-like_abana]

I thought about going to the hearing last night but didn't. I might go to the one on April 4th. What do you guys think? I like the overall plan, my only concern is those spaces on the east side of the bluemont have been empty for how long?

I LOVE the Moro things they talk about like more outdoor seating and closing Moro on the weekends. I'm interested what the housing pricing would be for the apartments they are looking at putting in and what kind of restaurants/bars/businesses that would be below them. Would be interesting how they would deal with the traffic in and out of Aggieville from those extra lots and housing. It's a monster cluster eff after games and stuff but I guess closing Moro would help. I love MHK and Aggieville and I think improvements like this will only help KSU and MHK.

I haven't been back to Manhattan in almost a year. My next time back in the city will be for my wedding in May. . .will Aggieville be serviceable? Or will it be all boogered up?
