OMG! They tore down all those beautiful large oak trees that were located between the old traffic circle and Fulton's Crab House. And they widened the barricade area of the construction site to eat up more parking spaces than what was blocked one week ago. There were serious parking space shortages last night at PI.
Sources tells me that the construction project will take more than a year which means T-REX actually opening in 2008 is a long shot.
As for the empty storefronts on Pleasure Island, leases still have not been finalized on anything except for a surf shop in the space adjacent 8TRAX which previously housed the recording studio.
