Monique and Danielle right there by each other? Sounds like some kind of lesbian plot to take over Shaw to me.
I was thinking drag queens.....
More development, yay! THe empty lot at 1st and N just got fenced in with a permit that said "two 2-floor condos." I'm calling it the LaToya.
Danielle 20 units around 500G
Monique 10 units around 500G
=15 million in real estate on one block. I hope this jump starts some commercial development.

That's a lotta money, but it is just one block. It will be interesting to see how those two and any possible outcome of other residental development projects on FL (near the Post Office) all add up to make an attractive hood.
