Winthrop wrap-up

Although I couldn't stick around for the duration of last night's City Council meeting they voted in favor of the AF Evans funding resolution. Have no fear, however, there is an inked deal to get the Winthrop in the hands of developers eyeing it's prospects as a hotel. The Quigg/Trabucco group has already pulled some support and money together and now has 30 days to decide. My hats off to them for sticking their neck out and here's to hopin'!

There's a 6:30am meeting/press conference being put on by Tim Quigg at the 9th and Broadway Tully's [ map ] on Monday 9/25. Should be fun to hear their progress and what the plan to try and do. Otherwise, and in the meantime, here's a link-rich wrap-up of post-meeting coverage:
