Appetizers and cocktails wll be served, and there is a chance to win a 42" plasma television.
Is this news or a paid advertisement disguised to look like news?
Posted by Urban Review on Tue., Nov 14, 2006 at 3:21 PMNo one has paid a nickel for this announcement, no announcements that I have posted have ever been paid for. Just thought some people would like to know that these condos are finally opening. We should be working together instead of being divided, Steve. The time for burying the hatchet between all the indy media is long overdue.

It's nice to read about a neighborhood that doesn't get much attention...
It's nice the promoters track the beginnings of the neighborhood's revival to the successful rehab of Stein Row and the Virginia School Condos (is that the old Maddox School?), both projects initiated thanks to the leadership of the Carondelet Housing Corporation and the Carondelet Community Betterment Federation (CCBF).
It's nice that a historic district is driving private investment in another city neighborhood (another tip of the hat to CCBF, sponsor of the historic district nomination, and it's supporters).
There's more going on in Carondelet. ACC readers should drive down Michigan Avenue and see the rehab of the Jacob Peters House. The development is newly completed and the results are stunning. The house is on the east side of Michigan, 3 or 4 blocks south of Holly Hills. You can't miss it.

Posted by John on Tue., Nov 14, 2006 at 9:37 PMMy apologies, it just struck me wrong given this is the 3rd or 4th grand opening for these condos. I too post announcements from various non-profit groups but I am cautious about posting information about for-profit enterprises. If I do include for-profit announcements it is in the context of a story and not just their sales pitch and only after doing some research.
I agree with 'neighbor', it is good to see activity in Carondelet and the Jacob Peters hours is indeed stunning.
As far as "Indy Media" goes I'm not quite sure how that is defined. What defines Indy vs non-indy in the media world? Is the small guy automatically Indy? Does anything besides a regular daily paper make something Indy? The West End Word and Vital Voice are both locally owned whereas the RFT is not. Have the WEW and Voice become too mainstream to be considered Indy despite being owned by local individuals.
