I just got word from Foam owner, Mike Glodeck, that they have passed their rough mechanical inspections and are now moving on to insulation, drywall and flooring. Now that they have jumped through most of the hoops put in place by the city, progress should pick up.

Looks like the glass is now in on the storefronts and they have been experimenting with paint colors. I think its going to look pretty great when they’re finished. What a change from what was there before.

I’m happy to say that the project is coming along great and that they are on track for a June opening. Read more

If everything goes as planned, the Benton Park Neighborhood of South St. Louis, will be home to two such establishments by the end of 2008: Mattingly Brewing Company and The Stable. Read more
