STL Rising is a blog dedicated to the renaissance of the City of St. Louis. It's a place to discuss issues and possibilities, all in the spirit of promoting the continuing progress of this great metropolis of the Mississippi Valley.

The original plans for this development included a large fountain at the south-east corner (Manchester and Rock Hill Rd.). Novus is now backing out of constructing that water feature, supposedly because one of the tenants wants that "green space" paved over. Is it more than coincidental that the fountain's removal comes on the heels of a cooling relationship with the city? Browne wouldn't be vindictive, would he?
Maybe Target will put something nice across the street, like they did at the Brentwood Promenade. Novus probably doesn't have the money for a fountain.
Browne isn't vindictive, he's just delusional. He sees himself as a savior and won't acknowledge opposing views. He is widely hated, but should be pitied, for he truly believes all that he espouses.
Rock Hill found itself stuck with Novus before the whole Sunset Hills disaster went down. They've backed out of letting Novus do a bigger development on the other side of Manchester. While there's brick and mortar on the ground, the site seems pretty deserted much of the time. Hopefully not a harbinger of things to come once it's finally done!
