For getting downtown from points in South City, Cherokee is an excellent connection, bridging the stretch from Gravois to Broadway.
Before 8:00 AM, the strip is quiet, with only the occasional group of school age kids gathered at a corner or a rehab contractor unloading equipment from the back of a pickup.
Buildings are in a rapid state of repair. A couple of half-rehabbed ones are available for purchase.
The Lemp Brewery complex is reportedly up for sale, with commercial real estate brokers estimating its value at around $30,000,000. The property was purchased just a few years ago for a tiny fraction of that amount.
Broker-developer types are touting the Lemp complex as a world-class, adaptive reuse development site.
Dumb question...is there a parade on Cherokee? Tiny neighborhood commercial streets can make the best parades.
Think Mardis Gras on Bourbon Street, the Chinese New Year Parade on Grant Avenue in San Francisco (before it was moved to a wide street in the Financial District), and the Hibernian parade in Dogtown down Tamm.
