The gas station / tire repair / vacant-for-a-decade eyesore at 15th & Yale (next to the SWAT shop) was bulldozed at last.
Please tell me it wont be another dollar (or five-dollar) store.

Probably CVS. Every Walgreens needs a CVS nearby. It's the law.

That corner needs a high quality T-Mobile and California Nails store.

A New Pizza Place is coming to 17th and Utica (Still part of "Cherry Street" boundary when you google that).

Just in case you were thinking: what is the one thing we don't have enough of around Cherry Street? "I know! A pizza place!"

It looks really good. In a bit of a weird spot, just off Utica, almost out of sight for 90% of people driving by. Hopefully they intend to do mostly delivery and pickup rather than depend on people dropping in.

"Genetic flaw". Love it!

That's probably why I found myself in the brewpub business.  Anyone in their right mind doesn't get into the restaurant business  ;D

haha! I'm just joking but also befuddled as an outside observer. I see all the types of food the area is lacking and can't believe another pizza place is going in! @e need an Indian place near downtown/midtown. Why can't any of these entrepreneurs get into that? Or there's a demand for casual cajun food after 5pm in downtown/midtown (not sit down/fancy like NOLA's, Peacemaker or Docs).  Like LaSalles but open after lunchtime. Guaranteed business in a near monopoly for anyone who does that.

Another one: A "Fair Food" restaurant: Corndogs, funnel cakes, turkey legs, fried stuff... How hasn't anyone come up with something like that? It could be a small kiosk or food truck. Maybe it's because no one wants to pay $5-$10 outside of a ticketed enclosure miles to the next restaurant. Sonic is pretty close also. Just about as sickening to eat.

We need more indian food places so badly in this metro. Crazy how underrepresented it is. You go to most other major metros and it's a common staple. We have three indian restaurants that I am familiar with, and only one is reasonably easy for me to get to. None are located near DT.

And the most popular is Pakistani.

We tried to eat at Smoke when we were in town for our Thanksgiving visit but wait would have been too long so we walked down to Prossimo and had an amazing meal.  Great new addition to Cherry St.!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Took some pictures of the former Corner Cafe on my way home from work today.  It looks great, IMO.

Managed to get the new Aero bus in this pic.

That corner will be the epicenter of transit when the 11th St. BRT is installed. I think it would be neat if the abandoned auto shop accross the street was bought by the city and made a sort of transit hub (not a park and ride obviously, not enough room, but something).
