Magic planning to break ground on $500M "basketball precinct" by end of 2024
The Magic hopes to break ground on their impending $500M basketball precinct "by the end of 2024, finish in 2½ years and bid to host the 2027 NBA All-Star Game," according to Tom Friend of SPORTS BUSINESS JOURNAL. The Magic partnered with JMA Ventures and Machete Group to "design and oversee its own project." Financed by the Magic, JMA-Machete and eventually others, the Magic’s 8.5-acre, half-a-billion-dollar district is "expected to feature a 250-room hotel, multifamily apartments, a 3,500-seat entertainment venue, Magic corporate HQs, a major parking garage, retail and restaurants, and a centralized plaza, naturally, for watch parties" (SPORTS BUSINESS JOURNAL, 10/16 issue).
HONEY, I SHRUNK THE BUILDING: In Orlando, Laura Kinsler noted with the exception of the live event venue, which was "not included" in the Magic's original plan, this "would be a more scaled-down version of the district than what was approved in 2020." In that plan, the Sports and Entertainment District would have "included a 23-story apartment tower, a separate 300-room hotel tower with 80,000 square feet of meeting space, 110,000 square feet of retail and a 420,000-square-foot office building," which would "house the team’s permanent offices." That plan also "included a 2,500-space parking garage that would have been built around a pedestrian plaza that stretched diagonally across the length of the property." The Magic had "carved out 40,000 square feet for its permanent offices," but with construction on hold, the team "moved its offices from Maitland to downtown Orlando in 2021." In the latest renderings, the parking garage "appears to be a separate structure at the north end of the property," and the hotel and apartments "appear to be combined into a single tower" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 10/18).

Reviews for "McBride Sisters' Blackgirl Magic Red Blend: A Revolution in Wine"
1. Jane - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Mcbride sisters blackgirl magic red blend. I found it to be overly sweet and lacking complexity. The fruit flavors were overwhelming and it felt like drinking candy. I also noticed a strange aftertaste that I couldn't quite pinpoint. Overall, I would not recommend this wine to anyone who prefers a more balanced and nuanced red blend.
2. John - 2/5 - I have to say I was not a fan of the Mcbride sisters blackgirl magic red blend. The wine tasted a bit too jammy for my liking, with an overwhelming presence of ripe berries and jam flavors. I found it to be lacking in structure and depth, making it feel one-dimensional. Additionally, I personally prefer a drier red wine, and this one was on the sweeter side. It may appeal to those who enjoy a fruit-forward and slightly sweet wine, but it just wasn't for me.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - My experience with the Mcbride sisters blackgirl magic red blend was underwhelming. While the label and concept were intriguing, the wine itself fell short for me. I found it to be too acidic, leaving a harsh sensation on my palate. The flavors were dominated by dark fruits and a hint of spice, but I felt that they were unbalanced and lacked depth. It might appeal to those who enjoy a more tart and fruit-forward red wine, but personally, I did not enjoy it as much as I had hoped.
