Interestingly, many of the best, most authentic and enduring destinations in a city, the places that keep locals and tourists coming back again and again and that anchor quality, local jobs, were born out of a series of incremental, locally-based improvements. One by one, these interventions built places that were more than the sum of their parts.In that vein, here is the first development in SODO, a taco truck. First it was the truck alone. Then is sprouted the awning. Then the port-a-potty. It makes me think of the development of Patty's Kitchen a block north, from a tiny shack. The question is, what comes next? What quick, light, cheap experiment could be added to enrich a taco truck?
Another update is the (near) completion of the process to locate Moscow's Intermodal Transit Center (bus hub, park N Ride, UI Parking office) on the corner of Sweet and Railroad St, across the Sweet Ave parking lot from the SODO site. Construction of that facility will get something moving in the neighborhood.
