Could not have said it better myself Joshua; thanks! And for the record, credit for this idea does not go to me (someone over at SJInside can take that), just the concept.

Anything for high rise development. They could even move the airport to Gilroy.

This is one is nice.I had no problem with the old one though either.

Aha, let's try this one.

I have a wide terminal at work so my browser is very wide. The 2 side columns are pretty big so I was almost blinded by the orange colors.

Thanks again Mark! I'm actually meeting with Steve from the Market this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to get some real names =).

The best video I've found is this one over here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1CWMFW1Ppk. Tomorrow I'll try to do a post with that video embedded.

I had a flight from that same gate so I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Some good news, when Terminal B opens in June it'll be a 50-100 yard walk.

2010-03-08T18:25:59.245-08:00

How about a speed walkway for those poeple that have a hard time humping 600 yards from Southwest gate 22 to the exit?

Instead they waste money on ugly parking lot artwork and architecture that doesn't match adjascent terminal.

Joshua,

I'll give you a pointer and let you make a blog posting of it. The Facebook group for the San Pedro Square Market which you can find by following the link from http://sanpedrosquaremarket.com/ only has a little bit of information. On the wall they just pointed a small video on the market. That video didn't have much but once you're on youtube for that video, there are other videos that are more informative.

Also if you go to the discussions tab within Facebook, there is only 1 discussion but Mike Maida does add stuff when somebody asks a question. His last posting which is over a month ago says:

"We have letters of intent from

A ravioli maker,Gyro's, ice cream, flowers, chocolate, Sausage, Spring rolls, and the list goes on and on.

Once we have leases in place with tenants we will be releasing the names."

Thanks Mark, I really need to stay on top of those reports! I'll break this info out into a separate post.

Thanks Jon, I'll add that one as well!

I think there's one called "Secret San Jose" where people post good finds in city off the beaten path. You probably have a lot to contribute :)

2010-02-24T00:27:56.370-08:00

It's the area bound by Julian, Almaden, and St. John (Henry's Hi-life is a good landmark for the area). Here is a post with more info: http://www.thesanjoseblog.com/2010/01/little-italy-san-jose.html

2010-02-14T14:18:19.292-08:00

That's a great question. It would definitely be a better location than Coleman, but it might be too expensive of a location for a soccer stadium. The proposed A's location is such a killer spot with it's proximity to transit, freeways, and downtown. To maximize that location, Baseball would be ideal since there are so many more games than soccer and 4 times the attendees.

I honestly think in the end we'll get the A's, but that would be a great option if plans fall through. I doubt Lew Wolff will even comment on that idea because he seems fully committed to putting the A's in that space.

If the A's move falls through, any chance they'd p...

If the A's move falls through, any chance they'd put the Quakes stadium downtown instead?

That's great! I'm looking forward to trying out the new restaurants and going to the shops. Willow Glen is a nice town already, and this will help spice it up even more.

This is great! I live with in walking distance from the Public Market and can't wait for it to be finished. Its things like this that make it great to live in Downtown San Jose. I've lived downtown for years and its finally shaping up.
