Reply to comment by Miss_Marna in Anyone know whats going on with the Trapezium in Church Hill? by Zpunks100
Idk if it's taxes, but my guess would be funding has run out or slowed. They've tried to host one or two "block parties" that were pretty unimpressive. I don't think the locals on the hill care about trapezium that much.

I don't think it's funding. Waukeshaw Development, the umbrella org that is owned by the same owners (Dave McCormack & co) as Beales, Trapezium, Demolition Coffee, and a bunch of other successful entities, have deep pockets. They are doing several development projects throughout Virginia, so maybe they're spread thin on a project management or manpower level.
I just emailed them at the address on that page. We'll see if they bother to get back to me with an informative answer.

But I actually appreciate you emailing as I would definitely want to know more

Yeah, that's the sort of generic non-answer I'm expecting, and kind of the answer they've given in the past when I've inquired. Maybe they'll surprise us this time!

I feel like every local on the hill is looking forward to it... I can't wait for it to open.

Enjoy, I guess? I'm sure I'll partake once it's here but I'm no big fan of theirs to begin with and they seem to be taking their sweet time with it.

Wait... Ramen spot?
For anyone else reading this, their description of the block party isn't hyperbole. That's exactly what it was. Maybe less tables.

I somehow deleted my comment - productive Tuesday.
My description of the event: “they definitely shit the bed with the “block party” that was just one tent selling beer, one food truck, and four school cafeteria tables”
But yeah there’s a new ramen spot I think called Slurp that is I believe going into the building spotty dog is in. Someone (think the owner?) was saying on Facebook they are aiming for a March opening
There’s also a new cocktail bar from Jasper owners called Emerald Lounge going into that area some point this year.

when that old lawyer's office was finally demolished, my family and I were fantasizing about what would go there instead, and my dream scenario was 1. an ice cream place and 2. a ramen place.
I feel so blessed.

I was just telling my partner if I could open a restaurant on the hill it would be ramen... Great minds think alike or something. I know where I'll be going on rainy days.
