Actually, I believe the vacant lot in question is the corner lot on 28th and Johnson St. If I'm remembering correctly, that wasn't ever a parking lot, but used to be a service station many years back and had some soil contamination issues. It's been sitting as a grassy plot for quite a few years, kind of like a miniature version of that spot on Penn/Lowry. I've not heard of any plans to mess with the parking lot that's located in the middle of the block. It's probably a little large for what's in the node now, but it does get used by shoppers at the various little shops on both sides of 29th and Johnson. I'm guessing it will probably work out to be just about the right size to accommodate the additional traffic from a restored Hollywood Theatre. Mark Snyder Windom Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
