  1. The city is not paying to build student housing and this development is across the street from FAMU. Cannot get any closer without actually being on campus. FAMU and FSU are also planning more on campus housing developments.

  2. @ Commonsense = I believe most liquor stores have a “Drive Thru”, just like Fast Food Joints.

  3. WOW, a drive-thru liquor store! Soon we’ll have drive-thru recreational marijuana joints too.

    Just imagine; from the convenience of your car, while smoking a couple of joints, you can end your evening chugging a bottle of whiskey all without ever having to walk anywhere on the new multi-use trails paid for with YOUR tax dollars.

    Tallahassee leaders must be very proud of the establishments they approve. Tallahassee sure is a classy, family-friendly city.

  4. The Cascades Trail Student Housing will have 215 Units. How much will it ACTUALLY cost to Build, including buying the Land? If the City / County Commission says it will be $20Million to build, We all know that it will actually be closer to $28Million.

    The 3 Star “Residence Inn by Marriott” at Rail Road & Gaines, how many Rooms does it have?
    How much do you think it could be bought for and turn into that Student Housing. It is already built, Furnished has all the Amenities, and Parking. It is close to FSU, FAMU and both Stadiums. Change some Signage and you are done.

  5. Why is the city trying to build “student housing” as far from the FSU, FAMU, and TCC as they can find within the city limits?
