EVIE LICHTENWALTER FEATURES EDITOR features@bsudailynews.com
ince middle school, Emanuel Escamilla knew that he wanted to go into the restaurant business. Escamilla, 23, was born in Atlanta, Ga., and raised in Muncie. Escamilla has been surrounded by food since a young age and his father owns and operates all three Puerto Vallarta’s in Muncie with members of their family. “When I was 12, I started working in the kitchen and all that, just washing dishes,” he said. “But, I would see the guys in there and I always wanted to try [cooking], and I would help them chop vegetables.” He previously studied business at Ivy Tech Community College, and co-owned the Puerto Vallarta truck that began routinely catering to late-night Village crowds last fall. When Escamilla was given the opportunity to work with local business owners, he didn’t think twice. Escamilla decided to sell his portion of the truck and go into business with Ryan Clements and Chris Ellison, local entrepreneurs who own Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, The Columbia Theater and The Silo.

Owners to fix Promenade issues Construction still going, residential complaints reduced ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu After two weeks of complaints from tenants and unfinished construction, owners of the $54 million Village Promenade said they’re making progress in addressing the problems. Residents reported finding mold, dust, dirt and faulty appliances, among other issues after the apartment complex opened.
MUNCIE, INDIANA
“We have a construction crew on-site. I talked to them today and asked how many work orders they had, and they said three,” said Larry Gough, real estate developer at Investment Property Advisors and building owner for the Village Promenade. “The first day we opened our doors we had 70.” The developers expected most of problems, which are not uncommon for new buildings, Gough said. The complex opened Aug. 16 after 10 months of construction. The units and parking enclosure were completed, but still had an inoperable garage elevator and outages of internet, cable and air conditioning. CONTACT US

Still missing are all amenities — the pool, hot tub and fitness center — which are expected to be completed between mid-September and October, Gough said. Businesses are expected to move into the commercial space throughout the year. While construction is still going, the city of Muncie granted temporary occupancy to the Promenade. This means the building is safe for renters, but will require a follow-up inspection once it’s finished. Gough said the majority of work orders and concerns raised by residents were nothing big.
