This is what is going up where Pok-e-Jo's is now: http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/stories/2007/02/19/story3.html http://www.directdevelopment.biz/prop_detail.php?id=1 http://www.directdevelopment.biz/property/pdf/1173455646_5thStreetBinder_email2.pdf The website indicates that Pok-e-Jo's will be a tenant, but they certainly aren't happy about the development, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Maybe they are just making the best of the situation. Sad to see the old tenants go (loved the consignment store in the quonset hut - they are headed to South Lamar), but this looks like a decent project, IMO. I don't have much more info. Maybe I will go take a demolition pic and do a post. I haven't heard anything about Guero's or El Arroyo. If you have real info, please pass it along.

Nothing cooler than having the congress for urbanism when the condo occupany rate will be about 4%. This should be good. Oh yeah - and no news on Pok-e-Jo's being torn down for more condo goodness? I here Guero's and El Arroyo are next.
