This area is conveniently located near Three Rivers Apartments as well as Club Soda and Hall's Guesthouse. It would be nice to have a downtown area that <B>doesn't</B> close down at six o'clock. Midnight or later would be much better.<BR/><BR/>The romantic in me sees a guy taking his girl out for a fine dinner at an upscale restaurant, dessert at DeBrand's, followed by an evening ride on the Headwaters Skyride where he proposes to her.<BR/><BR/>My wife would disagree with the idea of me being a romantic, though.<BR/><BR/>DaveDave MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346741336542867236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379820661179845389.post-23029953126025148812007-06-21T23:21:00.000-04:002007-06-21T23:21:00.000-04:00Nice work Dave.

I was recently in South Bend and they have a really nice riverwalk downtown. I was thinking it would be cool for Ft.

According to FEMA maps, the area lies in a floodplain, and state regs as well as city regs prohibit construction in those areas.<BR/><BR/>I didn't see any mention in the four questions asked or their answers.<BR/><BR/>Everything that we do as improvement involving the rivers will impact some area somewhere. No one seems to want to address that issue.Charlotte A.
