The Mexican restaurant court suit over a liquor license is continuing.
Although the Hamiltons have the court’s approval to proceed with its opening, they have decided to wait until the legal issues are clear. Meanwhile the Hamiltons have opened Park Place in Lafayette Square. Pantheon has opened tennis courts and a swimming pool for its apartment and condominium dwellers. DeBaliviere Place II, consisting of 242 apartments, is now available for occupancy; the Winter Garden Apartments are completely occupied. New sidewalks have been laid in the 5500 and 5600 blocks of Waterman. July 13 marks the first anniversary of Pantheon’s residency at 415 DeBaliviere. Lucier Park has not been abandoned. Vince Schoemehl says it is currently “out for bids”, a process that takes about six weeks.
The fences, grading, and seeding of the land, as well as the building of the parking lot should be completed by November.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council is organizing a Performing Arts Program. There will be a series of free Sunday concerts at the Four Corners this fall.
The SDCC has also organized a Parents Committee to work towards the resolution of problems that might arise during the school’s desegregation effort. Interested parents from the Hamilton, Dewey and Roe enrollment areas are encouraged to attend committee meetings.
The Hamilton Community School is in the process of developing college credit courses under the auspices of the Institute of Continuing Education of Forest Park College.
These courses will be offered at Hamilton School.
The Residential Service may be revived.
A meeting was scheduled for the last week of August to try to determine what role the service can now play in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood. Karleen Hoerr and Skip Coburn are spearheading this effort.
