The Metz (Schneiders site redevelopment)

[panamaniac]

I was wondering about that myself - isn't the large parking lot down Kent also part of Schneiders?  I'm also not sure about the empty area bounded by Stirling, the train tracks and Palmer (behind the properties fronting on Courtland).  I thought that used to be parking for Schneiders as well, but I can't remember.

Hmmmm, you might be right on that, although I can't remember for sure. 

They did own the land between Mill and the railroad that now has the townhouse complex.  Not sure about the vacant land on the other side of the creek from the townhouses, next to the industrial buildings.

No, I don't know who owns that area but I'm pretty sure it was never Schneiders.  I don't know who that lot belongs to but it has been more or less "orphaned" since I can remember (quite a long time!).  We used to play there when we were kids and in the winter it made for pretty good tobagganing, as it slopes down to the creek.  If the Parkway could be extended under the tracks to the Schneider site, it would make pretty good public space/natural area, imo.
