Goalball teams express appreciation for local Lions By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
The Fort Wayne Central Lions Club dedicated two new benches at the Goalball Center of Excellence at Turnstone Center Sept. 5. Nancy Daugherty, president of the local chapter, said 2017 marked 100 years for Lions Club International. “They challenged each club around the world to do some sort of centennial legacy project,” she said. The local Lions knew that they wanted to do something special for the goalball teams. “We are so proud of what they’ve done for Fort Wayne and the community,” she said. Turnstone, which was designated an official Paralympic training site by the United States

A local organization that raises money for pediatric cancer research has expanded its fundraising efforts to get children involved. Maggie Saal, along with her husband, Andrew, founded Brains for Hope after their daughter, Camryn, was diagnosed with a rare type of brain cancer in 2012. Primitive Neuro Ectodermal Tumors (PNET) affects 400 kids worldwide every year. Camryn, who was 7 years old at the time, was given a 20 percent chance of survival. She beat the odds thanks to

The organizers of Veg’N Brew Fest want everyone — from dedicated vegans to those who have yet to dabble in vegetarian food — to come explore the variety of plant-based offerings that can be found in Fort Wayne. The inaugural festival will take place Oct. 6 at Headwaters Park from noon-6 p.m., with a special VIP hour from 11 a.m. to noon. The festival will include local and regional restaurants offering vegan items, vendors, cooking demonstrations, a speaker, children’s activities, local breweries and more. There is a growing interest in eating less meat

committee wanted to create a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where people interested in eating more plant-based foods could ask questions. “We’re hoping with a beer garden type of atmosphere it will be an easy place for people to start talking about eating more plants and taking animals off their plate. And if there is someone next to them who is 100 percent vegan and is willing to answer questions, as most of us are, well great, it starts a conversation,” she said. Asp emphasized the festival is not just for those who are already vegetarians and vegans, but also for those interested in simply eating more plant-based foods. In fact, the goal of
the festival is threefold, she said. “For those people who are already vegan, we just want to keep their enthusiasm up about what Fort Wayne has to offer,” she said. “To all of the people trying vegan food for perhaps the first time, what we really want to do is turn their taste buds…(and) show people that eating plant-based is not only extremely nutritious, it is also incredibly delicious.” “We’re also hoping they get the message that you can veganize or ‘plantify’ any food, including everything they’ve grown up with (like mac and cheese and other comfort foods, for instance) and hope that the food they sample at the
festival encourages them to eat more meatless meals, either at home or when they go out to eat or both!” Asp wrote in an email. The committee has been creating buzz around the festival for the past several months through several fundraisers at Trubble Brewing, Pint and Slice and Hop River Brewing Company. “We’ve had good showing, good support from the community…the buzz is growing,” Asp said of the fundraising efforts. The festival is free, with the special VIP hour costing $15. For more information and a list of participating restaurants, vendors, breweries and more, visit fwvegfest. com.

both locally and around the country, said Karen Asp, one of the festival’s organizers. “I think more and more people are exploring (eating less meat) in Fort Wayne in particular,” she said. “We have many, many restaurants now that are adding vegan options to their menu or making sure they can accommodate their vegan guests if they don’t have a specific menu option.” In addition to vegan food offerings, the committee wanted to include local breweries for several reasons, Asp said. First, many people considering a vegan diet often wonder if they can still have beer and wine — which they can, in most cases. In addition, the
Johnny Appleseed would be proud. Apples, the fruit that gave fabled planter John Chapman his more famous nickname, are coming into their own in a new way in Fort Wayne, the city where Chapman died and is buried. Ambrosia Orchards, south of Fort Wayne on U.S. Route 27, will plant 450 apple trees on a 12-acre site, beginning this fall, and also open a cidery to make hard cider and mead. Ambrosia will be the second hard cider producer in Allen County. The first, Kekionga Cider Co., opened a little over a year ago on the northeast side
of the city in an old mill on Maysville Road. For Blanca and Edison Bender, the owners of Ambrosia, opening a cidery was a natural extension of the work they’d already been doing with Bender’s Orchard, near Wolf Lake, the family farm where he grew up. They’ve been selling Bender’s apples at farmers markets here for about five years, “and we wanted to branch out and bring an orchard to the southeast side of Fort Wayne,” Blanca said. The Benders are seeking a zoning variance to put a tasting room in a barn on the property, which is zoned for agriculture. If everything goes as planned, it should be up and running in October.

The trees they are planting are a semi-dwarf variety that should begin producing fruit within about four years. In the meantime, they will make their hard cider and fresh cider with apples from the Bender family orchard. Kekionga got its start with an offhand experiment about five years ago, said Logan Barger, one of the partners in the cidery. He and friend Tyler Butcher borrowed a cousin’s basket press and picked apples from a tree in a brother’s yard. “We decided one Saturday to press some apples and throw some yeast on it and see what happened,” Barger recalled. They learned a lot from that first try — that picking the right variety of apples is important, and mostly notably, that this was a business that they wanted to attempt. But they subsequently heard through the grapevine that the owners of Goeglein
Catering were thinking of opening a cidery, and they weren’t sure the county was ready for two new cideries. So they met with the Goegleins, “and I think when they felt comfortable with us; they showed us the ropes and we teamed up,” Barger said. The cidery is located in an old mill across Maysville Road from Goeglein’s Catering. The historic 1929 building, which the Goeglein family had sold and then repurchased, houses both the cidermaking operation and a tasting room. Kekionga’s hard ciders also are sold at restaurants and liquor stores in bottles, and Barger said they hope to expand to cans in the near future. The cidery is open evenings and weekends, Wednesday through Sunday. There is no operating kitchen there as yet, but one is being built and will be operated by the Goegleins. In the meantime,
food trucks are stationed at the cidery almost every weekend, Barger said. In addition to making fresh and hard ciders, Ambrosia also plans to capitalize on an old Bender family relationship with the owners of Sweet Life Honey Farm in Huntington County to produce mead. Cindy Sheets, who runs the operation with her daughter, Sadye Harris, worked with Edison Bender’s father. Their bees were used to pollinate the Bender family orchard. Sweet Life has 300 hives it uses to produce honey, and also runs a shop on the farm. “We honestly have been thinking about making honey wines for a long time here, but never really had the time to put into it,” Sheets said. When the Benders proposed making mead as well as hard cider, Sheets See CIDERIES, Page 8

Not a day wasted By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
Jodi Leamon is the business technical coordinator for the Allen County Department of
Environmental Management. ACDEM’s mission is to help residents and businesses make more sustainable choices and to divert waste from landfills and properly dispose of

politely decline straws at local restaurants. Restaurants were asked to either discontinue carrying straws, offer them by request only or offer sustainable paper straws instead.
Leamon herself is striving to achieve a “zerowaste” lifestyle. It’s a lofty goal, she admits, but the concept is about taking things to the next level. That starts with reducing the amount of stuff we consume in the first place, she said. “A lot of people think of recycling first, but that should really be your last course of action,” she said. Before purchasing anything, she asks herself if she really needs it and what
she’s going to do with it when she’s done. In an effort to reduce waste, she carries a “tool kit” with her that includes a travel mug, water bottle, stainless steel straw, reusable bags and cutlery. “If I don’t bring my own travel mug, I don’t get coffee. If I forget my reusable bags, I’m carrying whatever I’m buying,” she said. Here’s a glimpse into a day in her life on Sept. 12, 2018.
1:14 p.m. After encouraging residents and businesses to reduce their use of plastic straws, the Allen County Department of Environmental Management plans to launch a similar initiative next spring to reduce the use of single-use, plastic utensils. Residents will be encouraged to carry their own reusable utensils like this spork.
5:47 p.m. At the Three Rivers Co-op, Leamon uses her own glass container to shop in the bulk food section.
7:40 a.m. Leamon packs her lunch for work along with a travel mug for buying coffee at a local coffee shop. Most to-go coffee cups cannot be recycled because they have a plastic lining.
8:04 a.m. Leamon leaves her house to walk to work. She purchases most of her home décor second-hand. The chairs on her porch were rescued from the curb and painted to give them a second life.
1:23 p.m. Spirals from used up notebooks, old keys and other metal waste don’t have to end up in the landfill, Leamon said. She suggests having a designated place for these items such as an old coffee can. When it’s full, you can take it to a scrap metal buyer, she said.
1:41 p.m. Leamon drops off a box of Aardvark paper straws for customers to use at the Comfort Food Café in Citizen Square.
WE BUY HOMES! Cash For Keys, LLC.
6:03 p.m. Leamon looks for moisturizer that comes in sustainable packaging at the Three Rivers Co-op. Oftentimes, there is a huge disconnect between the product design industry and the recycling industry, she said. She encourages consumers to demand that businesses take more responsibility for where their products will end up at the end of their life cycle.

Solbird to open in October By Louis Wyatt
in action during a preview event at teds market. Guests were treated to some new brews and a sampling of what Perez described as a “diverse, Latin-inspired menu.” “We’re going to keep some of the tried-and-true things because we’ve built consistency in the product, and there’s certain things that we’re known for, so we’ll keep our signature dishes,” he said. “But we’re also going to come out with some new and exciting items and also keep working at always adding something new to the menu. It’s a work in progress, we just have to get into our kitchen and get acclimated.” Sol Kitchen takes its name from the Doors’ 1967 hit of the same name, but with a Latin flair in the spelling to reflect the truck’s

The end of food truck season is nigh, but come fall, one local favorite will have a new space to serve without the wheels. Jerry Perez, owner of the Sol Kitchen food truck, has partnered with Ben Thompson, owner of Birdboy Brewing Co., to open a new restaurant and bar on Dupont and Lima roads, in the former Friends location. The new business is called Solbird Kitchen and Tap. “We’ve kept our identities and we are teaming up my food with his beer,” Perez said. The two business owners made the announcement just over a year ago. On Aug. 28, they reminded residents that the plan is still

food offerings, which include tacos, quesadillas, tostados and other menu items. Perez and Thompson were introduced last September by a mutual friend, Hetty Arts, owner of another food truck, Hetty Arts Pastry, Perez said. When the pair decided to form a partnership, the original plan was to open the new brick-and-mortar location around the same time Birdboy opened its taproom in Roanoke in late December. “The plan was to open both of them at the same time, but things just moved faster in Huntington County,” Thompson said during last week’s preview event. “But we’re out here to remind people that (the new location) is still happening.”
Sol Kitchen and Birdboy partnering for northwest restaurant and bar
Birdboy was founded in 2015 in Fort Wayne, and its name is an homage to Arthur “Birdboy” Smith, a Fort Wayne native who designed and built his own airplane in the early 1900s. Solbird won’t be Thompson’s first collaboration with a local kitchen, as all the food at his Roanoke taproom is provided by Joseph Decuis. Perez and Thompson said they plan to open the new restaurant and bar at the beginning of October when food truck season slows down. The two business owners have already laid concrete for the bar and completed some other work on the new space, but there are still “lots of details to finish,” Perez said, adding that he believes they will still be right on schedule. “The new

Perez and Thompson plan to keep the restaurant and bar open six days a week with brunch on Sunday — an extension of Sol Kitchen’s brunch offerings on Saturdays at the Barr Street Farmers Market in Fort Wayne, which Perez said he plans to continue with the food truck. The Sol Kitchen truck will also continue to operate at some of its other local spots, including Two EE’s Winery, Country Heritage Winery, teds market and Lunch on the Plaza. Perez said he took some inspiration from teds’ “neighborhood focus” when looking at a location for a restaurant. “We feel strongly about this side of town, and my wife and I live out this

and Harris welcomed the partnership. “We’re super excited to continue this relationship with them,” Sheets said. “We used to work with the parents. Now we’re working with the kids, the next generation.” Ciders and mead will offer an alternative for those who are just not beer drinkers. “For couples and families, if they don’t like beer there’s not a lot else to drink,” Blanca Bender said. “We have a lot of breweries popping up, but not a lot for non beer drinkers. So hard cider is kind of a nice second choice.”
way,” Perez said. “With the popularity at teds on Thursday nights, we felt the market was strong and we could be a neighborhood kind of place. It’s a nice, small building and it’s manageable, but the neighborhood is the most important thing.” He also sees the move from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar location as “following in the footsteps of Bravas and Affine” — food trucks that spawned Bravas Specialty Burgers on Fairfield Avenue and Junk Ditch Brewing Co. on West Main Street, respectively. When he started his first taco cart in 2012 and rolled out the food truck in 2013, Perez said he was looking at a five-year plan to start up a restaurant, which puts Solbird’s opening right on his schedule. “Most food trucks have that restaurant in mind when they start, so we’re excited to be doing it,” he said. The Benders also hope to have a little farm market in the Ambrosia barn that will sell not just apples and ciders but other locally produced food items. Fresh produce can be hard to find in that part of the city, she noted, “so we’re hoping to do that for the southeast side of Fort Wayne.” The apples grown at the Ambrosia farm won’t be organic, but Indiana’s climate doesn’t really lend itself to that. However, the Benders are choosing apple varieties that are hardy, resistant to pests and disease and can thrive with a minimum use of chemicals. “We really want to make sure we’re doing the best we can for the environment,” Blanca Bender said.

FWMoA welcomes families for Day of the Dead celebration By Bridgett Hernandez
IF YOU GO

bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
The Fort Wayne Museum of Art invites families to observe and learn about Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at a celebration Oct. 28. Celebrated in Mexico and many parts of Latin America, Dia de los Muertos is a festive time when family members remember and honor their dearly departed and the continuity of life after death. The holiday has evolved from a blend of Meso-American and Christian cultures. At the heart of the celebration are the Day of the Dead altars, said Charles Shepard, CEO and director of FWMoA. Each year, the museum issues an open call for entries. Community members have the opportunity to propose an altar design that’s meaningful to their family or a cause. When it comes to selecting altar designs for the exhibition, sincerity weighs more heavily than artistic talent, Shepard said. “The key thing for us is judging the sincerity of the work, of the effort. Is this something you really have your heart in?” he said. The exhibition, on display Oct. 26 through Nov. 11, features a series of artist- and family-made altars honoring deceased loved ones or groups of individuals who have died for a cause or as a result of persecution or injustice.
The museum first hosted the holidaythemed celebration and exhibition in 2005. Since then, the event has evolved to include activities for children, traditional performances and food. About four years ago, the museum also began commissioning and purchasing related artwork to display in addition to the altars, Shepard said. The celebration Oct. 28 will offer children’s activities from 2-4 p.m., including hands-on activities and storytelling. From 4-6 p.m., visitors can enjoy music, dancing, traditional folkloric costumed characters, Mexican food, desserts and beverages. The community-centered altar exhibition includes traditional elements of Dia de los Muertos, such as sugar skulls, papel picado (the Mexican folk art of colorful tissue paper cutouts) and photos or personal items of deceased relatives. Another common symbol of the holiday includes colorful skeletal figures, laughing in the face of death, and La Catrina, which depicts a female skeleton dressed in the aristocratic styles of Europeans of her time.

and skeletons, Dia de los Muertos is not to be confused with a Mexican version of Halloween, Shepard said. “We want to maintain the integrity of what Day of the Dead’s history has been,” he said. In that vein, the museum has collaborated closely with volunteers and community partners like the Spanish-language newspaper El Mexicano to connect with the region’s Hispanic community and arrange traditional performers. Shepard said the Day of the Dead celebration and exhibition has made a lasting impression on the museum’s collection. The annual event has prompted the museum to evaluate the diversity represented in its collection. “Getting involved in Day of the Dead made me aware of the lack of Latino/Hispanic artists in the collection, so we added an effort over the years to make sure we keep growing that collection,” he said.

“Found on the Bus” By Louis Wyatt lwyatt@kpcmedia.com
A Northwest Allen County Schools bus driver has found the perfect combination between her school-year job and her love of photography. What started as a way to pass the time has become an art project as much as a handy tool for students.
While most of her time outside the bus route is spent shooting family photos, senior pictures and, more recently, weddings, Natalie Hoffman’s newest photography project focuses on capturing discarded or misplaced possessions — book bags, hats, flash drives, jewelry, toys, handwritten notes, retainers,
house keys and other items left behind by her students. “You name it, I’ve found it,” Hoffman said. The project, which she has deemed “Found on the Bus,” began as a “boredom project” on a rainy day last year. Hoffman, who owns her own photography business, Blue Umbrella Photography, had her camera with her while
NACS bus driver turns photography into lost and found waiting for her Carroll High School students to get out of school. Because of the weather, the other drivers stayed on their buses rather than socializing like they typically do. Looking for something to pass the time, Hoffman decided to snap some photos of the various trinkets she typically finds lying around her bus.
“I thought I would just put them on the floor where I found them and take a picture. I posted (the photos) to Facebook and everybody loved them, so I kept doing it,” Hoffman said. “Maybe once a week or every two weeks I’ll just bring my camera along, and whatever hasn’t been claimed by the kids, I’ll set it up and crawl under the seats for some of the shots. If I happen to find something on the day I have my camera, I won’t touch it, I’ll just photograph it.” Hoffman used to work in marketing at Fort Wayne Newspapers before starting a position at Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly. About eight years ago, she bought her first “really nice camera.” After taking her niece’s senior photos at Salomon Farm one year, more and more people in the area began contacting her for commission work. “I didn’t mean to become a photographer, it just kind of happened,” she said, adding that after the first couple years, she decided to quit her job and commit her time solely to her photography. Before long, she decided to pick up some more part-time work, applying for a bus driver position at NACS on the recommendation of her sister-in-law, who also drives a bus. “I told her it wasn’t for me, but I did the training and started my first year of bus driving and absolutely loved it,” she said. Hoffman buses students to and from Hickory Center Elementary School, Carroll Middle School and Carroll High School, and since the hours are in the morning and late afternoon, she still has time to focus on her personal business.
“That’s what’s beautiful about doing photography. I have that space in the day where I have time to edit my pictures, and then being off at 4:30 I can still go do evening photo shoots when the sun is setting. It’s kind of perfect for me,” she said. Hoffman is a Carroll High School graduate and, over the past eight years, has done numerous family photo shoots and senior portraits for Northwest Allen County clients in Fort Wayne and Huntertown. Many of the middle and high school students she drives to school and their families have also commissioned her work. As a result, she has garnered a large local following on social media — adding another utility to her “Found on the Bus” project. She recently created an Instagram page dedicated solely to the project, which has served as a lost and found where students and their parents can identify lost items. “Some middle and high school students follow my photography page on Instagram, and some of them have identified their things,” she said. Though the venture has been a success, Hoffman’s favorite moments are when her students turn in lost items before she finds them. Recently, a firstgrader on her bus found a high school student’s wallet containing a necklace and a $100 Visa card, which he turned in at the front of the bus. “Those are the kinds of things that make me love what I do — seeing the kids making good choices and growing up,” Hoffman said. Her Instagram page can be found @ FoundOnTheBus.

HOPE: FROM PAGE 1
her doctors and support system in Fort Wayne, Maggie Saal said. It was during this experience that the family discovered that there was little to no funding and research being done for pediatric cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. Childhood cancers make up less than 1 percent of all cancers diagnosed each year. Today, more than 80 percent of children with cancer now survive five years or more. This is a huge increase since the mid-1970s, when that number was 58 percent. However, survival rates vary depending on the type of cancer and other factors. According to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, fewer than 10 drugs have been developed for use in children with cancer and 4 percent of federal government cancer research funding goes to study pediatric cancer. After Camryn’s recovery, the family wanted to raise awareness and give back to
the community, so they started Brains for Hope in 2015. The organization hosts an annual gala to raise funds, which they donate to pediatric cancer research foundations and local organizations that support families dealing with pediatric cancer. To date, Brains for Hope has donated more than $175,000. This year, the organization wanted to expand its fundraising efforts to include something for children in the community. The Saals’ daughters and their friends’ children wanted to know: “When can we do something? We want to help.” In September, Brains for Hope hosted its first annual family carnival at Parkview Field in partnership with Parkview Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The “Sock it to Cancer” family carnival invited people of all ages to join the fight against pediatric cancer. Admission for children was $10 or a sock full of change (adults got in free). “We wanted to open it up to everyone and not discriminate if someone couldn’t afford it. We decided that would be a fun way for kids to pay their own way to get in,” Maggie Saal said. Children helped plan games and activities for
the carnival. They also helped promote the event and asked businesses for sponsorships. Participating was a learning experience for the children and a lesson in leadership skills, Maggie Saal said. “It’s just so important to teach them to give back and be a part of the community. … (It teaches them) to have that philanthropic heart and give back,” she said. Today Camryn Saal is in remission and recently celebrated her 14th birthday. She loves music, dancing and doing crafts. She’s glad that Brains for Hope has expanded its fundraising efforts to give children like her the opportunity to get more involved. “I thought it would be fun to do a kids’ event because the gala’s only for adults and it’s not fair to the kids that they can’t have fun doing something with Brains for Hope,” she said. Camryn’s younger sister, Eliza, 12, said she doesn’t want other children with cancer to feel alone — she wants them to know that their peers support them. “I really wanted to help because…I think if kids have an impact on it, it will make the other kids in the hospital feel like, ‘Oh, the other kids
know what’s going on. They care about me,’” she said. Maggie Saal is hoping to make the family carnival an annual event.

money for the project and worked with the facilities manager at Turnstone to pick out two courtside benches for the players to use during practice and games. After the dedication, the men’s and women’s teams demonstrated how the sport is played. “Goalball is the greatest game nobody has ever
heard of,” said Jake Czechowski, head coach of the Women’s National Goalball Team. Goalball was originally devised in 1946 as a means of assisting the rehabilitation of visually impaired World War II veterans. The team sport is designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment. Players must be visually impaired to participate, but not everyone has the same level of vision impairment,
Czechowski said. In order to level the playing field, all players wear eyeshades. Players compete in teams of three, and try to throw a ball that has bells embedded in it into the opponents’ goal. Using the sound of the bells to judge the position and movement of the ball, teams alternate throwing or rolling the ball from one end of the playing area to the other. Players remain in the area of their own goal for both BRIDGETT HERNANDEZ

defense and attack. Games consist of two 12 minute halves. Because the sport is centered around ear-hand coordination, players and spectators must stay quiet while the game is in play. When emotions are high, this element of the game can be difficult, Czechowski said. “(At the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), when 9,000 people (gasp while watching goalball), it’s impossible to be silent,” he said. Through a partnership with Turnstone Center, the United States Association of Blind Athletes established the first-ever long-term goalball resident program in the country where members of U.S. Men’s and Women’s Goalball National Teams train full-time. Their season typically runs from January to July. Goalball resident athletes live in dedicated housing near the training facility that was made possible by a gift of $150,000 from Lions Club International Foundation, Lions District 25B and Lions of Indiana.

5 things
you need to know about:
The Landing
BRIDGETT HERNANDEZ
1. The Landing has been a part of Fort Wayne’s history for 185 years In September, the public was invited to get a behind-the-scenes look at the transformation taking place at the Landing on West Columbia Street during Be a Tourist in Your Own Hometown. The Model Group is partnering with the Fort Wayne Downtown Development Trust, Greater Fort Wayne Inc., the City of Fort Wayne and the Community Foundation of GFW to preserve and revitalize seven historic buildings — and build one new building — that comprise almost the entirety of the district. It will include 70 new apartments and 60,000 square feet of retail and office space. The project is one of the city’s five priority projects as part of its 10-year, $645 million redevelopment plan. Work on the block of historic buildings started in February. Once completed, developers envision a downtown destination home to unique, mostly local retail and restaurants, a coffee shop and brewpub. For more information, visit thelandingfw.com.
For nearly a century, the Landing was the central business district of Fort Wayne because of its proximity to the Wabash and Erie Canal and later the railroad. The block is home to many Fort Wayne firsts, including the first post office, hotel, newspaper, theater and railway station. Seven buildings on the Landing are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the area is also designated as a Local Historic District.
2. The project’s developer specializes in revitalizing urban neighborhoods The Cincinnati-based Model Group, which has been tasked with the Landing’s redevelopment, was instrumental in the redevelopment of Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine community, the largest intact national historic district in the country. After World War II, many of Over-the-Rhine’s working-class residents moved to the suburbs. By the early 2000s, the area was plagued by high crime rates, population decline, loss of commercial life and deterioration of its historic buildings. In 2003, the Model Group joined the city to help restore the historic district. Today, Over-the-Rhine is a district home to a year-round market, breweries, restaurants, bars and locally owned shops.
3. The Landing will be a destination for foodies For years, West Columbia Street has hosted a handful of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. During Be a Tourist In Your Own Hometown, the Asian fusion restaurant Nawa, which opened earlier this year, offered food samplings. More new restaurants are anticipated to move in, including a brewery and BBQ restaurant at 118 Columbia St. Coffee roaster Utopian Coffee also plans to locate its first-ever retail coffee bar at the Landing. Developers envision a lively restaurant row, where patrons play “restaurant roulette” in which groups waiting for a table put their names on several restaurants’ lists and eat at the first place that calls them.
4. There are plans for those empty lots Passers-by might notice two empty lots along the Landing. One building has been torn down in order to make room for another. The plan is a multistory, mixed-use building with restaurants and retail space on the ground level, office space on the second floor and residential use on the remaining floors. According to the Model Group, the new construction’s architecture will be unique to the Landing and not an attempt to mimic the historic style of surrounding buildings. Plans for the other empty lot will be outdoor seating for a first floor restaurant occupant.
5. The revitalization will be complete by summer 2019 Construction on the Landing is expected to be complete by summer 2019. The redevelopment project’s completion is expected to align closely with the completion of another downtown project just blocks away, Riverfront Fort Wayne.
