The Daily City Show, hosted by Mark Baratelli.

TRANSCRIPT: Sailboats on Lake Eola. Instagram walls in Parramore. This and more on The Daily City show.

Dr Phillips charities has announced that it’s on the hunt for a third party operator for its recently-announced Southern Box Food Hall. Commercial real estate services firm JLL is executing that hunt. The operator would be charged with overseeing all operations for the food hall, including the identification of the restaurant tenants. Another large-scale development, The Yard at Ivanhoe, recently announced the operator of its food hall: Tampa-based, Vigor Group, which created and manages Hall on Franklin food hall in Tampa.

Sailboats will be floating atop Lake Eola promoting the Major League Soccer All-Star Game for two to three weeks if City Council passes a special event signage package being brought before it this afternoon (June 17th). The signage package includes several more promotional displays scattered around downtown during this period including an “Artistic collage” at 617 W Central, a Building wrap at the SunTrust Tower, a Banner for the Church Street Station bridge, and several large signs on the soccer stadium. Even more signage is planned separately outside this signage package including street banners on downtown street lights and signage on bus shelters. Authorization for a City Planning Official to approve more temporary event signage as the need arises was also recommended for approval. All of this signage will be hung two to three weeks before the Major League Soccer All-Star Game which takes place July 31st and can remain hung for up to 30 days in total. The MLS All-Star Game is an annual marquee event for Major League Soccer, and this year it will be hosted at the Orlando City Stadium, against Spanish soccer Club Atletico de Madrid. Every year the event draws fans and media from across the country for a five-day celebration that typically includes a concert, news conferences, community service days, a Homegrown game — which features young MLS standouts — and culminates with the All-Star Game.

MetroPlan Orlando is seeking public input through a public meeting and via email submissions on the proposed regional 5 year transportation plan called the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The public Meeting is tonight, Monday, June 17th at 5:30pm in the Cypress Room on the 3rd Floor at the downtown Orlando Public Library (101 E. Central Blvd). At 5:30, materials will be made available for review and there will be time for questions and answers. Then at 6 a Formal presentation will be made, followed by time for Public comment. If you’d like a copy of the TIP sent to you, email Metroplan Orlando at info@metroplanorlando.org.

Orlando City Soccer Club is requesting approval of a temporary use permit to operate a fan zone on its property east of the its stadium. OCSC describes the project as “An interactive fan zone with sponsor booths, music, soccer themed games, autograph signings and plenty of free giveaways.” The fan zone would only take place on gamedays. Approval is recommended until November 30, 2020 with the option for one 1-year extension. The City is fine with the Fan Zone so long as they plant a hedge and build a fence around the property. The City asked for the same hedge back in 2018 when they gave Orlando City Soccer permission to use the empty lot as an employee parking lot, but they never planted the hedge. The deadline for the hedge is August 30th.

Thank you for listening to the daily city show. As always keep using our hashtag “Orlando is Wonderful.”

TRANSCRIPT: Fashion Square Mall will be completely leveled according to Growthspotter. The mall, built in the 70s, will be replaced with an outdoor mixed use development with a grocery story, hotel, apartments, offices, restaurants and entertainment destinations. Unicorp National Developments has a contract to buy the property beneath what remains of the mall for $23 million dollars. This new development will not include the Floor and Decor and never-opened Orchard Hardware buildings next door to the mall. These two retail stores replaced a Sears which had been attached to the original mall.

MetroPlan Orlando will unveil a recommended design for Corrine Drive at a Community Meeting from 5:30-8:15 p.m., on May 1 in the Audubon Park K-8 School at 1500 Falcon Drive. Since early 2017, the Corrine Drive Complete Streets Study has focused on identifying a street design that better serves the community.

The meeting will include time to review plan drawings, a presentation on key features of the proposed design, and time for members of the public to speak. Comments can also be submitted in writing by filling out comment cards at the meeting or providing comments online.

The recommended design for Corrine Drive includes continuous sidewalks, new features for cyclists, a street design that can slow speeds and improve safety, along with more trees for shade and appearance.

MetroPlan Orlando – working with Orange County, Orlando, and Winter Park governments – is finishing the Corrine Drive Complete Streets Study and exploring next steps for funding and implementing the plan through a local government.

MetroPlan Orlando will collect feedback, summarize the results and hand the project over to local governments to secure funding and oversee the remainder of the design and construction work.

Last week, 23 trees were removed from Edgewater Drive by Davey Tree Expert Company at the direction of the City of Orlando due to poor tree health and/or their proximity to electrical wires. The trees were not replaced. Instead, the holes left by the trees were filled with concrete.

Orlando food truck veterans @tamale_co are opening up a brick-and-mortar location on May 5th in @thehourglassdistrict. The new spot is a collaborative space called @hourglasssocialhouse and will be shared with @leguminati, @le_ky_patisserie, and @foxtailcoffeeco. The restaurant will offer the food truck’s tamales as well as a deeper dive into authentic Mexican street food.

This Cinco de Mayo, Tex-mex restaurant @cocina214 is hosting its seventh annual Running of the Chihuahuas event at its Winter Park location at 151 E Welbourne Ave. This family-friendly event invites you to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a Chihuahua run, fresh margaritas, and Tex-Mex cuisine. Proceeds from the Chihuahua run benefit Winter Park Lost Pets and the Poodles and Pooch Rescue of Florida. The event will also feature drink specials such as $5 214 Rocks with Sauza, $3 bottled Coronas, $5 Hornitos Flo’Rita, $7 Hornitos Plata, $7 Tito’s Lonestar Lemonade and $10 Loaded Coronas with Mi Campo. Those interested in having their dogs participate can register on the @cocina214 website. Link in their bio.

The Daily City Show hosted by Mark Baratelli.

A food hall may be coming to the @IvanhoeVillage main street district according to the Tampa Business Journal. They’re saying The Yard at Ivanhoe, a large 591-unit mixed use development under construction in Ivanhoe Village, is in talks with the owner of a food hall in Tampa called @thehallonfranklin to build a food hall inside a portion of the 31,000 sq ft of retail space within the development.

Construction on the Luckys Market across from Floor and Decor and Orlando Fashion Square Mall has begun with a scheduled opening set for May. Some of the large scale grocery stores in that area of Orlando are now busy making improvements to combat this new grocery store entrant. The Publix inside Baldwin Park is adding a by-the-pound food bar to the deli like both Luckys and Whole Foods are known for and new health items near the front door. The Target catty corner to the Luckys shopping center began its storewide overhaul over a month ago. It’s already installed a full size Starbucks just inside the front door, moved departments from one end of the store to the next, and is in the midst of a new exterior paint job. Thank you for moving the (BEEP) cat food to the back of the store.

Sideward Brewing Company, a new brewery, taproom, and kitchen inside a 100 year old warehouse in The Milk District at 210 N Bumby Avenue is celebrating its grand opening March 30th. The owners of the brewery, offering a selection of beer, cider, cold brew, and more have big goals ahead for themselves: they say they want to help make Orlando a nationally-recognized craft beer destination. Cat food! In the back!

The owners of the one year old mobile coffee cart business Cups and Pups Coffee, Matt and April Guldi, are transforming the land on which their curbile cart resides off of Hwy 441 in Lockhart (just North of College Park), into a dog and coffee kingdom! The land will soon feature an 8,000 sq. ft off-leash dog park, a 1959 Airstream trailer- turned- walk-up coffee window, open air seating, patio space for lounging and outdoor games, and an additional smaller park for dogs under 30 lbs.

Work has begun on the renovations coming to Wally’s in the Mills 50 District at 1001 N. Mills Ave. Visible changes to the exterior include the removal of the blue, tan and sand colored tiles along with the double row of glass bricks covering the right chunk of the front facade. The tiles on the sidewalk are the same color and design as the ones that formerly covered the front wall. The owners told the Orlando Weekly last year they wanted to make improvements but keep the divey vibe, so it’s possible the tiles and glass bricks will be returned to their former location. The Daily City will share tile and glass brick updates as the work progresses!

The new location of Sushi Eat Station opened in the Mills 50 District recently at 1830 E Colonial Drive. The restaurant serves sushi in bowls, rolls and wraps. The interior is an energetic space with two large murals and a hedge wall that reads “sushi is bae.” The larger of the two murals has lots of in-jokes Orlando locals will enjoy. Parking is in the rear with a convenient back entrance.

Two Orlando locals will be opening a mobile plant shop soon called B W H Plant Company. The shop is a refurbished trailer with shelving and a fold down entrance door. The two owners will be selling easy care plants, hand-crafted pots and planters, and other merchandise, and will be popping up around town in the next couple months.

More than 40 of the area’s top chefs, bakers, caterers and drink purveyors will be serving and pouring at the 34th annual Taste of Winter Park 5pm-8pm Wednesday, April 17th at the Winter PArk Famers MArket building. Thousands come each year to sample signature dishes, cool beverages and decadent desserts as well as enjoy live entertainment. Tickets are $65 at the door or $60 online at http://winterpark.org

For the first time in its history, Orlando International Airport is poised to become one of the ten busiest airports in the entire nation. The preliminary figures, from Airports Council International, indicate that Orlando International will register as the United States’ tenth busiest airport for 2018, up from the 11th position in 2017. Also, Orlando International is on track to potentially break the 50 million traveler mark later this year. In January, passenger traffic increased by 5.4 percent overall led by a nearly 16.5 percent increase in international travelers and a 3.73 percent increase in domestic travelers. For 2018, Orlando International remained the busiest airport in the state of Florida.
