The current Jackson Street Entertainment District PUD application proposes to preserve three historic buildings:

* Gerardo’s Building, 421 S. 3rd St. (historically designated)
* Arvizu’s El Fresnal Grocery Store, 310 E. Buchanan St. (historically designated)
* Fuller Paint/Beacon Upholstery, 117 E. Jackson St. (eligible for historic designation)

There are three additional warehouses (eligible for historic designation, but undesignated) which are included in the limits of the proposed project, but are proposed to be demolished:

* Pioneer Fruit Co. Warehouse, 401 S. 3rd St. (lots 1, 3 and 5 on north half of block 11)
* Coe Sales Co., 301-309 E. Buchanan St. (lots 1, 3, 5 and west half of 7 on north half of Block 12)
* Graham Paper Company Warehouse, 521 S. 3rd St./310 E. Lincoln St. (lots 2, 4 and 6 on south half of Block 12)

I am confused by the picture of the wrecking ball. What buildings are they tearing down? I had heard that they were saving buildings in the District like OIC, etc. Can you be more specific about which historic buildings are slated fro demolition?

I was at the Public Meeting Monday and it all looked pretty darn cool to me. Everyone else there also seemed to think that it was really cool too.
