No that 7-11 is not gone...the one that's gone is the one on Rosalind....the one me and @TheOriginalCane are talking about is off of Pine St. You have no idea what tf you're talking about....The Solaire is the Nicest condo in Downtown....55 West, The View and the Paramount are crap....the CEO of Darden Foods lives in the Solaire. Just above my friends on the 26th floor....Expand Lake Eola???....That's not what's happening...I've seen the plans...they're upgrading it....New Bathrooms, with concessions nearby, another Dock and boats near the Japanese pagoda....covering the Disney Amphitheater....and a few other upgrades. They are not expanding anything. Robinson St might be only 2 lanes soon, instead of 4. The homeless situation isn't going to get better because of Azzwipe Buddy Dyers "Hands-off" approach. I know that entire area like the back of my hand.....I owned a home not even 6 blks east of Lake Eola (Lake Lawsona) for 12yrs.that 711 has been gone for over a year i think. theyre trying to expand the park i believe and trying to remove the homeless hang outs. the better areas to live in DT are where the new buildings are going up further in towards the ice cream shop. 55 west and solaire are both trash can buildings with the new construction building around downtown and SODO along with a lot of the nightlife and higher end spots moving away from DT and towards mills and WP. a friend of mine is involved in RE development for a LARGE development company (JLL) so i get some insights on the plans coming around tampa, orlando, SFL. knew about the water street development in tampa for over 10 years now. while sparkman is okay, the area is great and the new edition and JW water street are gorgeous. both cities have subpar downtowns overall, but the areas to be aretn really DT in either area.
