Cruise Avenue Lives  

I’ve seen some comments about Cruise Avenue on different posts and pages. Let me say I totally support Cruise Avenue. I live Downtown and I can tolerate the noise once a month.

The groups I talked to were great people. I trust them and HPD will handle any problems going forth.

I was there and I enjoyed it 
It brought people Downtown to eat at restaurants and provided free entertainment.

It’ll be alright. Cruise Avenue Lives!

New Pages 

There is now a page for Gator's new podcast Talk Huntington with links to some of the shows and a page for Gator Chomps Huntington with his video food reviews

Marshall is growing  

Been some activity this  week. I think things are getting ready to happen down here on 4th and I will begin to make plans to move. 
The picture is the ultimate and eventual plan for 4th Avenue looking from Marshall  

Where my building is on the left will be a parking garage.

I’m excited. I think this block will be bring energy to Huntington   The new buildings on Hal Greer and 4th Avenue will bode well for Huntington  

I hope I’m alive in ten years to park in the parking garage and say “I used to live here”.
