Restaurants, pubs, apartments planned for Arcadia Brewing space

Image
Mike Gothberg and his business partners already have plans for the Arcadia building . (Photo: Noe Hernandez/The Enquirer) After Arcadia Brewing Co. closes its West Michigan Avenue location in September, the building will be turned into a space for new restaurants, a pub and apartments, a developer said Monday. Mike Gothberg, co-owner of the 34,000-square-foot building that houses Arcadia , said he expects to fill the two-story building with up to four restaurants or pubs, or even another brewery, on the first floor by next spring and at least 20 loft-style apartments on the second floor in the near future. "We have a plan for the whole building, ultimately," Gothberg said. "I'm excited to see what we can get done in there now. "I feel that, with the agent we have and their connections, we should be able to put someone in there by early spring," he added.

10 cheap-eats spots in Baltimore that offer more than just crab cakes

Image
Diners enjoy lunch at Tortilleria Sinaloa, which has top-notch tacos in tortillas made the right way — by hand. The unassuming storefront in Fells Point is one of several cheap-eats destinations in a city suddenly flush with award-winning chefs. (Doug Kapustin/For The Washington Post) Baltimore is that rare city with a dish so fundamental to its culture that the food’s name is an answer to a crossword puzzle. But if the crab cake is Charm City’s calling card, it can also be a cross to bear for those planning to open a restaurant there. The chef who dares to ignore the crab cake is the chef who risks losing the tourist searching for Baltimore’s signature dish, typically built with Chesapeake jumbo -lump crab, saltine cracker crumbs , a mayo binder and, of course, Old Bay. “You will find that in many restaurants there is a crab cake,” says Suzanne Loudermilk, restaurant critic for the Baltimore Sun. “It’s just part of our cuisine. When people do come from out of town, they inevitabl...

Where Millennials Live Alone—and Where They're With Mom and Dad

The kids are not all right—or so the click-bait headlines would lead you to believe. There are countless stories about those flighty millennials who job-hop every year, are crazy-obsessed with their iPhone phablets and shell out too much on  Instagrammable avocado toast or kale smoothies to move out of their parents’ basements and ( gasp !) pay their own rent. There's more than a hint of truth to that last part. About 15% of 25- to 35-year-olds were still crashing with their folks in 2016, according to a  Pew Research study . And that leaves 85% either cramming into apartments with friends or living solo. The young-at- heart data team at realtor.com® decided to dig into these numbers. As it turns out, where millennials are living plays a big role in whether they   are   most likely to live alone, as opposed to with their folks. And there's a lot of variation across the country, we learned. Related Articles "We definitely see a larger percentage of millennials living at...

LocalConstruct aims to revamp Downtown Boise through housing

Image
Six years ago, Mike Brown and Casey Lynch stood on Downtown Boise ’s 8th Street and wondered: Why don’t more people live here? Downtown seemed to have everything that a growing percentage of Americans wanted in a place to live. “I mean, there’s all kinds of jobs. There’s a million coffee shops and hair salons and restaurants, and there’s an active street life ,” says Brown, who founded the Los Angeles- based development company LocalConstruct with Lynch in 2008. Casey Lynch, left, and Mike Brown have made their mark in Boise. Provided by LocalConstruct But in 2011, fewer than 4,000 people lived in Downtown’s scattered apartment and condominium buildings and houses. On a typical weekday afternoon , most Downtown workers got in their cars and put the city in the rearview mirror. Brown and Lynch saw an opportunity. They thought Boiseans would trade ample floor space and vaulted ceilings in the suburbs for smaller, high- end Downtown apartments that offered amenities like gyms, a do...
