Here are my notes from the latest edition of Downtown Dimension:
- Christmas in The Park is being planned for 2011, but the organizer needs to replace $370,000 of funding that used to come from the city.
- The city has developed a master plan for the area around Diridon Station incorporating 5 million sqft of office space, 420,000 sqft of retail, 2,600 residential units, 900 hotel rooms, and an underground train station.
- MACLA (a center for Latin American arts) in SoFA has received a $100k Ford Foundation grant and is looking to expand its presence Downtown. There were only 12 organization to receive the grant from the 700 applicants
- CJ's Cafe and Catering at 303 Almaden is under new ownership.
- Us Studio Hair Salon is now open at 54 W. Santa Clara and also features vintage and custom designed clothing.
- Team San Jose and Groundwerx have come to the rescue of two downtown Heritage clocks that stopped working. They are now operational again.
