First Freedom to include exhibit space, hotels

Style Weekly has the details on plans for the Freedom Center @ 14th and Cary Streets:

Plans call for an exhibit space and a curved monument facing the corner. Literature for the project says the facility will bring together “two Marriott brand hotels,” but officials with the nonprofit wouldn’t offer details. Sources say it’s likely one of the hotels would be an extended-stay facility, typically designed for business travelers.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2009, with the hotels opening in late 2010. First Freedom is finalizing an agreement with Apple REIT Cos., a local real estate investment trust, which is developing the hotels, says Sharon Durham, the center’s chief financial officer.

Walk Score

Richmond Business & Commercial News reminded us about Walk Score, a site that “calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.”, part of an effort to recognize the benefits to our health, the environment, and our communities of living in walkable neighborhoods. This site puts a number on how easy it is to go day-to-day without relying in a car in Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom, and Tobacco Row; Manchester is still a little ways out.

Fountain Bookstore in good hands

Style’s Halls of Kelly on the The Fountain Bookstore’s new owner Kelly Justice: “The Fountain Bookstore, started by Joyce Clay in 1978, specialized in corporate and technical books until the Smythes bought it in 1985. In 2000, the Smythes hired Justice to bring the bookstore into not just the regional but also the national arena. Justice has been inching toward that goal ever since.”
