The Summit might actually happen?!

img_2467I was starting to think the Summit Mall was never going to reopen. I accepted its fate, and was moving on to other things.

Okay, I'm lying: I had another dream last week that the mall reopened. It's getting so bad that even in my dreams I'm like "I need to take pictures because this'll only last like, four minutes!"

Well, I was so, so wrong.

If all goes according to plan (oh yeah, the "P" word), the Summit's getting a brewery.

That's what the talk was yesterday at the hearing.

What hit me the most was the October 1 opening date for the sports complex, which you may notice is the same date as last year. We are exactly 1 year behind schedule.

But listen to this line I found in the Buffalo News:

"Robinson, who lives in Huntsville, Ontario, said based on contracts with local sports leagues, 600,000 to 700,000 visits to the mall are expected between Oct. 1, the target date for opening the domes, and May 2018. "We have a waiting list," he said."

A WAITING LIST?

THIS IS A THING?

Well, expect me to be all over that mall Sunday, October 1, 2017 if everything goes according to plan.

Confirmation Bias (Nice Title, eh?)

Hey y'all, So...October 1st has come and gone, and there's not Summit Park Mall (contrary to what my now WRONG countdown calendar says). To rub it in, the Buffalo News published an article with the hopeful title "Sports domes at Summit in Wheatfield to be erected next year" . The article basically just states what I already knew: nothing's gonna happen this year. ...Well, that's not  entirely  true: Cynthia Potts, who I've emailed before (because I'm nosy) says that they might get some work done for the winter. Maybe my Christmas shopping idea didn't fall on deaf ears! Well I have my fingers crossed, as usual. -Red Hooded Manatee

Chock Full o' Update

Hey folks, So, first off: Twitter! I have one! Follow it! https://twitter.com/radiokorei Next: Summit Mall news! Well, mall news in general. So it seems the Boulevard Mall is up for sale, which is crazy. Weirdly, WKBW focused their live air story (but not their written piece, ugh) on the Summit. So the unofficial construction date is Spring 2017, which is exactly a year behind schedule. I guess any date is better than no date, but geez. Also, Cocov made a new site for his projects! Take a look at Cocov Destinations . It mentions the Summit Sportsplex project, so it's still happening! Cheers! -Red Hooded Manatee
