I hope they'll stock edible flowers and fake food furniture, otherwise hanging out with pigs and things, no matter the patio outlook, simply won't do. Hmm... cheese ornaments.

Good to see that someone is digging beneath the pile of leaves that is the over-used, catch-all, upwardly mobile adjective, 'gentrification'.

I might be wrong, but I believe that could very well be what is called an "impluvium". If it is, it may well have a marble basin. Careful with that spade!

A deck is a deck is deck. Unless it's a landing. Which would suggest a platform between flights of stairs. Which you don't have. So it's a deck. Flippin' 'eck.

Canvas all of your neighbors on the block. If you can present a united case, it's possible your request shall be dealt with more assertively. Prepare a letter, rather than a petition.

Too many people seem to be missing the point here. The success of such an experiment shouldn't be measured in immediate retail receipts, but in the cleanliness of the air.

If the street is comparatively quiet for footfall (I find it ever busy, personally), it can be attributed to many reason, high among them, the terrible fumes. Montague is a narrow street. It's a street that gets jammed with traffic. In other words, I am sure that the traffic is high on the list of deterrents for people passing through.

Therefore, give this a chance. Let the people hear about the initiative. They will come. And please, measure not in dollar bills. Better to ask, "How much easier was it to breathe?"
