Looks like the sale of Whalom Park (1893-2000) will now officially go through, given that the ongoing suits that were holding it up were just settled. According to the Sentinel, the sale will be finalized by 2006. There is a hint in one of the articles that they might have to knock down what’s there because it’s a fire hazard. I think I may have to go back and take some more pictures from across the street, etc.
The developer has also said that he wants to try to keep some of the buildings to have a sort of amusement park feel. If I pay 500k for a condo, I probably don’t want a fried-dough booth next door. Just a thought.
I guess it’s really the end then. Stories are available (for now) at the Sentinel.
