Too much to dew? what? They have no plan...it's helter skelter down there....
You'd prefer an immense planned development like a mall? |

Did I say that? No. But you've given me more insight as to why downtown will never flourish.... |

You obviously need no insight. |

Is Trula's still open or not? We went there for Mother's Day but have not been back since. No issue with the food at that time, just other places more convenient to home, that and the fact 90% or more of our meals are cooked at home.
I was more impressed with Trula's food in May than I was when they opened.

It's open but no longer called Trula's. Edit, I take that back. The website still lists Trula's. I was under the impression it was changed with the new management company. |

That would be a shame. 106th and Memorial has an unwelcoming juju. |

Dtowner: You can't put false wording in my mouth....I will just spew it back on you. Again, I am not down on downtown. I just think people need to be more careful as opposed to greedy. I fear for Elote because their newest concept has vaulted them into the possibility of losing money. I fear for Juniper because Justin has steaked another claim in the Brady. I worry too many restaurants chasing too few dollars might erode all the good choices as they may eventually be forced to close. What was the name of the Mayo Hotel eatery that everyone was ga ga over when it opened? Open your eyes people. I am addressing this thread....not the entirety of downtown. So do you just choose to ignore the fact that you have one of the two most prominent downtown restaurant owners saying that business is going like gangbusters? That his business has increased as more places have opened? You say that you worry about Juniper. Have you tried to eat there on a weekend night? Reservations are required unless you want to eat at 10:30. Will the new additions to downtown, such as Guthrie Green and then all of the new residences coming on line not just further the demand for more and varied establishments? I understand the need for owners and investors to not over-extend, but honestly you come off more like a rabid complainer than someone who is really interested the successful development of our city. |

My only comment at TNF on Guthrie Green is two words: home run. Look it up.... |

Not much of a reason to try hard when you're not throwing out any proof to your prophesies of doom. You say a thing without saying why you say it and then challenge others to prove you right. Why should anyone really try to converse with you?  |

Why should anyone really try to converse with you? Ask questions. Don't be a simpleton name caller. I laid out a progressive suggestion for the east end and you say this carp. I have seen the cycles before. There is no doubt there are too many bars and eateries chasing too few dollars....with still more to come. Would you have ignored Paul Revere...or Jim Inhofe? Go feed the baby... |
