Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
Such a shame. I had a lot of great times there over the years. Pretty bittersweet to see it go even though I haven't been in several years.

Jim Porters was bought out by MSD to make way for one of their projects.Toecutter1978 wrote:Why did it close? Selling booze to underage?
MSD to purchase Jim Porter's Good Time Emporium property

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
oops never mind, just read the link
hmmm, well I never knew that building was where MSD was trying to build the basin. They moved fast. I was in a meeting about this a few months ago and they just got approval for the adjacent property about a month or so ago. EPA requirements forcing them to build the basin if I remember right. And its a BIG basin.

Not a sewer plant, a collection basin for large amounts of water.

Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
That's a shame. Once upon a time it was a really great place for parties and live music. I saw many bands there, early on, that went on to become HUGE!

Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
It will have sewage in it as well. basically it will be an overflow for the combined sewers instead of going into beargrass creek. Then it will slowly pump back into the sewers when the rainfall event is over and there is less load on the system.
"But now," he said, "take your money and a traveler's bag. And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one" -Jesus (Luke 22:36 NLT)
Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
A sewer plant has lots of components which cause the smell and problems associated with being nearby. Collection, aeration, ponds, etc, are generally where the smells would be coming from. This is to keep the city from dumping stuff right into the creek. All contained and so there SHOULD be no foul odors if what we discussed is constructed right. It should also be pretty hidden. I am not sure if the new apartments next door will like it all though.
The discussion was leaving the original building (Jim Porters) I guess it is now and using that as a part of the operation. Who knows what they will do. They did not disclose to those meeting participants that they had worked a deal with Porter already but that may have come after the meeting.

Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
So what I've am reading, this was a back room deal kept out of the public eye till it was already done. Hmm
Re: Jim porters a s phoenix hill closed
No, sounds like they were in negotiations, which are not always made public since its really only between the landowner and the MSD (why does everyone always presume there is a conspiracy theory?). The MSD specifically wanted access to a large vacant tract of land next to Porters (and between it and the new apartments area) which was owned by the Transportation Cabinet and were asking if they could purchase it or use it for this type of operation. The land fit well in connecting some appropriate adjacent sewer lines as well. Plans were to improve a walking trail down by the creek area for use by the public as well.
