'The Boulevard's' signs at State Mutual Stadium; Web site coming
Crews were busy Monday posting sign after sign for The Boulevard, a retail-mixed use development surrounding State Mutual Stadium. Many of the signs advertise different parts of the development; the one to the right is for The Aventine. The concept: Develop "retail restaurant" condominiums in various sizes. The project--subtitled "Rome's Lifestyle Center"--involves Doc Kibler and Dee Yancey as well as managing partner Robert Bogle. A Web site for the project is coming together as well.
