Ballpark Village: Something other than a big hole?

Could it be?  Is something other than dirty water, gravel, and space about to occupy Ballpark Village? 

Well, if you believe the St. Louis Business Journal the city and developers might be within a couple of weeks of bailing out the struggling deal and actually getting to work on this thing.

There are still plenty of hurdles to hop before they actually begin turning dirt, but at least people involved in this monstrosity are back to talking about what it might be, instead of if it will bel

[Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt, Jr.] pointed to Cordish's $800 million Power and Light District project, which opened in downtown Kansas City earlier this year, for a flavor of the types of tenants Ballpark Village could feature. The Power and Light tenants include Gordon Biersch Brewery, Cosentino's Downtown Gourmet Market, Lucky Strike Lanes, Bristol Seafood Grill, a Miami-style nightclub called Mosaic, an AMC movie theater, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Famous Dave's Barbecue, Angels Rock Bar, ChefBurger, Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, Fuego bar and restaurant, Howl at the Moon dueling piano bar, Living Room bar, Maker's Mark Bourbon House & Lounge, McFadden's Sports Saloon, PBR Big Sky country and western bar, Ted's Montana Grill, Raglan Road Irish pub and restaurant, Tengo Sed Cantina, Vinino Wine Bar & Bistro and a Sprint Nextel store. A Jos. A. Bank men's clothing store, a live music theater, a GNC vitamin store and smoothie bar, additional restaurants, a coffee house, a dry cleaners and a nail salon also are expected to open soon.

So, where do you stand on this?  Excited?  Impatient?  Believe it when you see it?
