They are wanting to add some more night life stuff down around 31st street.

Night life stuff?  A restaurant with a river facing patio perhaps?  Leave the rest in Brookside less than a half mile away.

A friend is looking at buying a house near 31st & Detroit.  One of his biggest issues with the location is that there are no sidewalks on 31st to be able to walk to Brookside or the river trails.  Hopefully that is something that will be added as this park is constructed, so people can actually walk there.  The trail along Crow Creek is also an important connection to this park from Brookside.

Appears that what is developing is that on the south end of the park there will be apartments/condos, possibly with a retail/dining component in the mix.  Also seems as though they will work to have a trail from Brookside along Crow Creek to the river.  Would be nice if development were able to evolve in from each end creating a smaller cozy version of a San Antonio Boardwalk type thing.  Imagine small brick and or stone buildings and even converted homes on each side of the Creek with perhaps cafe's with outdoor seating, and art galleries on the ground floor, large trees, lamp posts, the occasional small bridge crossing, etc. all along Crow Creek from Brookside to the River.  I could imagine a little Thomas Kinkaid village type thing in that area. One can dream anywhoo lol.

I like the vision, and definitely see some creekside dining in the future.  I've thought that you could build out the space where the small office is by the creek north of Shades of Brown, with a big patio space by the creek and Peoria.  It's a really nice waterway covered by big trees, and would be a popular bike/jogging path.

Can't they walk on the grass??  That is, after all, what it is designed for....  well, that and feeding cattle.

I know I know.  On the one hand I can't stand Thomas Kinkade if his stuff is looked at as "fine art" to hang on your living room walls (Please NO people!). But on the other, as a Disney fan, I have to admit I really like his Disney stuff lol.  I think that's more the category his work should fit into.

So are you saying doing Kinkade knock-offs could be in your future or not?  Grin

Only if they are Disney related and perhaps with an Art Deco twist here and there.  Grin

You don't like Kinkade??   But it's so shiny and sparkly!!


I am using some of his buildings for inspiration for what I am starting to build.  But then, I am also using Clarehouse as input, too.

I actually more like the Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella ones better.

But as for Crow Creek, look up "Thomas Kinkade Lamplight Village" or "Cobblestone Brooke".   Something like that that kind of fits the character of the neighborhoods nearby and having art galleries and cafe's.  Hokey I know, but something like that would work there.

There is a large piece of private property along and north of the creek to 31st & Peoria.  I wouldn't be surprised to someday see it be divided into smaller parcels for homes with some abutting the creek.  It could look somewhat similar, or it could be Tuscan.  Wink

I do hope the jogging /bike trail along the creek goes all the way to Zink Park, and goes under Peoria.  It would be awesome if it could go all the way to Philbrook but I don't see that happening.

Except for the small river and the bridge, there is something reminiscent from about 4th to 15th, both sides of Harvard....Hansel and Gretel Houses....
