Jeff, Jonathan and staff,
Can you look into and report on what’s going on with the corner store at Cumberland and Lafayette? They’ve been closed and now it appears work is going on there (looks like demolition and a dumpster was dropped off).
Because it has that deep sidewalk, I’ve always thought it would make GREAT outdoor seating for a cafe/bistro. If St*rb*cks or a Quotidian Pain ends up opening there I think I may pass out! (…from annoyance)
If not a restaurant, I’d LOVE a good green grocer! That gets my vote!!! Apparently, the fruit/vegetable stores can make a lot of money.
The neighborhood could use a few other types of businesses. I think this website has hosted such conversations in the past.
Whatever they open, I hope it’s exciting!!! If they’re simply closed to remodel the store (which it needed), it will be a bit of a let-down.
The Nigerian Restaurant on the opposite corner appears is near to opening!
IJ- are you talking to me?
And you wonder why people find you tiresome and predictable.
infinite thats not factual at all, actually pretty dumb
IJ- believe it or not, I can ask a perfectly reasonable question about backing up an impressionistic statement with facts. And its ok.
bxgrl, believe it or not, I can make an impressionistic statement on racial incidents and it’s ok.
IJ- Most? You have facts to back that up?
Yesterday’s photo was very prescient. But those swans seem to get along. Are they all part of the same family?
Most hate literature like this reported incident turns out to be a member of the targeted ethnic group doing it, in a sort of persecution fantasy thing.
