On Saturday, representatives from the Vision McMillan Partners said they were launching a website to release development information for Bloomingdale's 25-acre McMillan site.
The site is currently up, with this weekend's presentation posted. Transparency, transparency, transparency seems to be the developers' mantra. Thank god, they're not selling their plans with some riff on "hope" or [...]

James Cramer called it months ago: We're hitting the bottom of the housing market this year. God, I wish a little nationwide bell would go off, so we could all just smile and say with full confidence, Nowhere to go but up! Cheers. Drinks all around.

Oh lord. Where to begin?
For those that haven't been following the McMillan site proceedings, here's a recap: The McMillan Sand Filtration Plant site is a 25-acre parcel of land by the intersection of North Capitol Street and Michigan Avenue, Northwest. In December, a [...]

Good to see you again Rahm. It's been a while. Frankly, I wish readers would have taken more time to comment on the Erie piece. Was it too harsh? Not optimistic enough about the market?

Ah, how quickly the time passes. I interviewed Erik Hein from the D.C.
