JUMPDATE 2010
Yep, you saw it in today’s Statesman. JUMP is back. Now, it’s not a $100 million deal, but a $70 million one. Instead of circling the grounds, it provides a Disneyesque flank on Myrtle, and a lot of open space. I still don’t get the concept, and I don’t think Simplot does either. A tractor museum, combined with two floors of event space, artists studios, a caterer and an ad-hoc cooking school? And foundation offices but no corporate headquarters?
I so, so, so, want to be wrong, but no one would seriously bring a proposal like this to market. How in the world do these people plan to activate this space?

I can’t help but notice the new plan goes all the way along 9th St… did they secure that corner that was holding out?

Good question. I don’t remember the law firm selling out. I don’t know why they wouldn’t. What a lousy place for a firm, and what a great opportunity to sell that lousy building!
