The College Park theater has closed. After a 25 year run the AMC Loews College Park 14 movie theater says that they cannot compete with the Showplace 12 at Traders Point. It now sits empty.

I have it from a good source that the old Bob Evans restaurant at 9310 Michigan Road is about to become a Grand Traverse Pie Company. I drove by there yesterday and they have torn part of the building down.

We are about to have a new hotel in Intech Park. Hilton Hotels is going to open a full service Garden Inn mid September. It will have 122 rooms, Ballroom space for 180 people, a Great Americian Grill and rates will be between $89 to $199 a night.

My source also tells me that the old Galyans at Lafayette Road and Pike Plaza Road is going to become a Mexican Grocery. Kind of big don’t you think? The old Value City in the same center may become a nightclub.

And lastly…Jack In The Box will be opening their first restaurant in Indiana. My understanding is that it will be located at at 46th and Lafayette Road where the old Amaco gas station use to be. My guess is that there will be many more fast food restaurants opening in the area thanks to the new Wal Mart center across the street.
