Hotel Indigo Starts Construction, Gets New Neighbor

Looks like work has finally started on Karl Fischer's Hotel Indigo at 237 Duffield Street. Last October, a group of investors called V3 purchased the hotel site for $9.5 million with plans to build a 22-story, 164-room boutique hotel, originally planned to be completed by this year. Next door, a relatively new store has opened called YOUNGWORLD, which sells kidz clothes. Guess we can cross that site off our list for the potential Mac store.

Youngworld isn't a new store. It used to be on Fulton (maybe at Hoyt?)

A botique hotel on Fulton Mall ? Talk about developers hammering a square peg into a round hole. And yes Young World has been around for years on Hoyt St I believe.

Yes, I used to buy clothes for my kids there back in the day.

Kidz? That's offensive.

it says kidz on the sign so obviously the owners won't be too offended.

This is a bit off topic but could someone tell me if there is a good store in Fort Green that sells milkseed? I am talking about the fresh imported stuff and not the dry packages you see in most stores.
