Conor with 315 West Ponce developer Carter sent along the latest renderings of the mixed-use development currently under-construction at the corner of Ponce and Ponce Place.  He also announced that the project – long called “315 West Ponce” or “315” for short – now has an official name, “The Place on Ponce”.  You can check out their new website HERE.

He also provided this update on the project…

…we are about to complete the parking deck and get it open (in the next week). At that time, the office building tenants will start to park in the deck and we will begin full construction on the apartments in the surface parking lot facing Montgomery. We are well underway on the building facing Ponce and that is scheduled for completion this fall (November). We will begin our leasing efforts this summer. The full project will be complete next summer (2015).

Cat Lost Near Sycamore Street

Molly writes in…

I want my puppycat, Pepper, back home. If you would please look in your crawlspace, shed or garage to see if he got closed in by accident, I’ll give you a reward to bring him home safe and sound. Please e-mail me at molly (dot) b (at)mindspring.com. Posters on telephone/power poles on Sycamore Street have my phone numbers; I don’t want to put those here (but will be tending my e-mail account addictively).

He is a 15.5-pound gray/black and white tabby.
