City officials are right in saying this stretch of Main Street is critical to provide a connection between the Medical Campus, Theater District and Allentown. It is literally at the crossroads. The 700 block of Main is filling in presently and will almost be completed once Clover starts the condo project on the site of the Schmidt Bldg. The only portions of that block with question marks are the corner property where Downtown Graphics used to be (kitty corner to Studio Arena), the Vernor Bldg., and the three story building next to Stoke Seeds. Everything else has been renovated.
Now only if the Red Jacket could find a buyer who could polish up that building (corner of Main and Allen).
