What happened to Cal Ave Merchants Association
March 25, 2007
I went to update some stuff on my Cal Ave page, and when I attempted to access the California Avenue Merchant Association’s Web site, it was shut down, and a WHOIS lookup shows the domain name was purchased by Wan-Fu China, Ltd. based in China, on March 20, which had expired on Jan 18. Is this a case of an important organization accidentally letting their domain expire? Or did the organization truly dissolve? New businesses have recently moved into the Cal Ave District so it seems strange the one single voice for that district would cease to exist…does anyone know what happened, and if they are still around, to they have a new domain name?

Even though it has no canopy or retail, the 10 North Virginia Plaza will get a lot of use this summer – The proposed calendar of events includes recurring items (e.g., Sunday Controlled Burn, Tuesday Municipal Band, Wednesday Blue Grass), as well as several stand alone events.

Belvedere Towers Update
March 22, 2007
Belvedere Towers has the street blocked off and is ready to install the steel superstructure (stacked on the street) for the two floors of new penthouses on the shorter tower (probably beginning today). According to the sales agent, they need to get the penthouse superstructure up, roofed and enclosed before they can begin closing on existing sales. They have about 95 contracts (out of 176 small tower residences) and hope to begin closing relatively soon on floors 1-3. They are offering some financing and closing cost incentives to try and sell out the rest of the lower floors.
