Update: Viceroy rises from former Cedar Hotel site, oh the memories...

 The new Viceroy Hotel makes its splash at North State and Cedar in the Gold Coast.  The have been several changes in the "Triangle" over recent years. Maybe none more physically evident than the closing of Cedar Hotel and party patio for the new, larger mid-rise hotel.  Here's some background on the project.

The drinking and people watching at the old Cedar front patio was awesome.  Kept the Gold Coast a little less sophisticated... and fun.  The trendy hotel will make a nice city neighborhood alternative to downtown locations.
