Campustown Redevelopment

[SoapyCy]

I agree, Jerry at All Cuts was a great dude. Yes, he was kinda odd but super nice and you always left happier than you went in. Hope he is still around but i haven't been back in years.

Worst haircut ever was from him. After class the day I got it I had to go to the sport clips in west ames. Circa 2005

Also, does anybody know what happened to/if he is still there Jerry the barber at all cuts on Lincoln Way. Nicest guy ever, kinda odd duck but nice old guy. Used to get my hair cut there 2002-2007. Now I wish I just had hair at all hahaha.

Was that the guy who just had two haircuts-- the Harvard and the All-American? (And I think they were the same haircut?)

Really hope Mr Burrito will hold a space in the new building. That burrito is fire

The best burrito is and always will be Fighting (Flying) Burrito. Why mess with perfection?

Also, I heard Battles BBQ is no longer around? That place was the best!

Upgrades/expansion coming to 2408/2410 Chamberlain (Thai Kitchen and apartments):

http://cityofames.org/home/showdocument?id=33711
Renderings on pp. 7-10

The applicant is proposing to redevelop the two properties at 2408 and 2410 Chamberlain by consolidating the two buildings, remodeling the first floor commercial spaces, adding additional residential floors to both buildings and renovating the existing residential apartments. The project includes adding two residential stories to the top of the 2408 building and one residential story to the top of the 2410 building. This will allow the developer to connect the two structures in one building that contains a total of four stories (one commercial story with three residential stories above). The required parking for the apartments exists through a combination of on-site parking spaces and remote parking spaces.

Found this link and sketch up for the 2510-2526 Lincoln way redevelopment.

You may have to zoom into campustown along Lincoln Way and click on the 2510-2526 Lincoln Way polygon for a few pictures.

Thanks ahead of time to anybody that can paste just the pictures.

Back side:

Looks like it has quite a bit of outdoor patio space (both covered and and uncovered. Would be good space for a pub/restaurant or two.

I noticed the request for direct access off Lincoln Way. This leads me to believe the area behind this development will continue to be used for parking which unfortunately might mean the contuence of it's dumpy appearance. Don't like that idea.

Have the traffic come into the area off Hayward. Losing space along Lincoln Way for driveway access would be a mistake. Just look at the gaping hole left for parking along Welch done with the Kingland project.

Not really impressed with this one.

This must have been the announcement he was talking about on the radio last week. I've ordered from there once but can't remember much about it. Think maybe it was slightly over priced

Wingstop is the ****. I get more and more jealous watching the national franchises I love slowly trickle into campustown/duff every year since I've left

More campus than campustown, but there's a plan in the works to regrade, irrigate, and light the rec fields east of M-W-L.

Wow. That's a waste of $2.1 million.

If they're gonna ***** and moan about budget cuts so they can raise tuition, I don't wanna see this kinda BS.

Not to mention the fields don't get used from November to March because the field is frozen.

Showing a complete lack of understanding of why tuition has been going up (consistent underfunding by the state).

Recreational options are something every university should have.
