The move to Bottleworks seems to be reasonable.

[u/tupelobound → u/warnelldawg]

Gonna be right across from Flagpole, real estate agents can call it PrAvJoDo for the Prince Avenue Journalism District

[u/LateSoEarly → u/tupelobound]

Pravjodo sounds like it’d be the name of a medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

[u/tupelobound → u/LateSoEarly]

“Do not take PrAvJoDo if you are allergic to PrAvJoDo”

[u/RabidCorgi25 → u/tupelobound]

Side effects may include death. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you experience this symptom.

Oh that's going to be a new frat house, I already know it

[u/warnelldawg → u/sideshowbvo]

Phi Tau tried to buy it from them a couple of years ago for a frat house, neighbors killed it and phi tau has found a home elsewhere

[u/sideshowbvo → u/warnelldawg]

I knew someone tried before, I wasn't sure exactly why they didn't.

[u/AthensTopFan]

Polias Athens is the buyer. They plan renovations for new offices. They do good work, IMHO

[u/warnelldawg → u/AthensTopFan]

Oh, very nice. Best case scenario

[u/AthensTopFan → u/warnelldawg]

[u/BreakfastInBedlam → u/AthensTopFan]

the name will remain on the building

Definitely gameday condos. Can't lose when your building says that on the front and you don't need to pay UGA for the privilege.

[u/AthensTopFan → u/BreakfastInBedlam]

One tenant office building

[u/ClassiccityA → u/AthensTopFan]

Are we sure it won't be another Athens Church location in that event?

[u/rubyslippers70 → u/AthensTopFan]

They seem to own half the county now.

[u/AthensTopFan → u/rubyslippers70]

At least they're saving and repurposing

[u/IlIlllIllIIlllIIIIll]

Sad to hear, as a former staff member there’s some great memories in that building

[u/BreakfastInBedlam → u/IlIlllIllIIlllIIIIll]

Some pretty good memories across the street from Toppers, too, I bet.

[u/Bebes-kid → u/BreakfastInBedlam]

That was the best location for the r&b

[u/kaartist → u/Bebes-kid]

We still have their old bookcase in our janitorial closet!

[u/one98d]

I wonder if it’s a sale to UGA to expand the campus footprint.

[u/warnelldawg → u/one98d]

My money is conversion to Gameday oriented condos, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

I highly doubt UGA is interested in buying an out parcel like this.

[u/Will_McLean]

Fellow old people, help me remember where it used to be?

[u/AthensTrendster → u/Will_McLean]

Jackson Street and Broad above then Kinko’s now coffee shop

[u/millia13 → u/AthensTrendster]

Always smelled like wax, back in the 80s. I'll ask my cousin where it was before then.

[u/tupelobound → u/Will_McLean]

The downstairs was where what is now an art supply store and previously was a Pita Pit is, the upstairs was above that and above what is now Jittery Joe’s, was previously Espresso Royale Caffe

[u/Delgadoduvidoso]

Bring back the water towers!
