7. OROGRESS REPORTS (Cont' <br />would come to this area. We could show off the best <br />talents in the area and it would be a matter of asking <br />these people to participate. <br />Mr. Kagel said, in Indianapolis, it is a community <br />program - -not just the downtown merchants - -it is a <br />showcase for the entire community. He feels sure the <br />people would love to be asked to participate in these <br />too -- community Christmas activities -- community in <br />everything. Now is the opportunity for the total <br />community to be involved, regardless of the age group. <br />Mr. Louis N. Wilcox said Mr. Kagel presented it well <br />and that the public relations aspect has to be sur- <br />mounted in people. <br />President Nimtz said to Mr. Louis N. Wilcox, Director, <br />River Bend Plaza: "You are to be complimented on the <br />activities you have scheduled on the River Bend Plaza. <br />It has been tremendous:" <br />4) Azar's Restaurant <br />Mr. L.

Wayne headquarters. They will remodel a building <br />on the northeast corner of Michigan and Wayne Streets, <br />site of the former Mahowald's store, for a 170 - seat, <br />full service, family -style restaurant. It is antici- <br />pated the work will be ready shortly before Christmas, <br />although an earlier announcement said the new Azar's <br />would open in November. Waiting for bids from con- <br />tractors caused the delay. <br />Azar's on the Plaza will resemble the chain's restaurant <br />on U.S. 31 North with an adobe -style brick exterior and <br />earth -tones decor for the interior. <br />b.l Staff Reports <br />1) Acquisition - A -10: This written report was from ACQUISITION - <br />Mr. i iam J.
