Cherry Street

[Red Arrow]

Crossing a street is actually safer than a Wal*Mart parking lot.  The cars on a street tend to drive in a linear pattern...the Wal*Mart parking lot, not so much!

I must have an invisible (to me) billboard that says "Don't drive stupid around this guy".  I don't have the supposed difficulties in suburban parking lots and I usually park away from the buildings to keep from getting parking lot dings in my car doors.  I just don't see the problem myself. 

I don't have a problem crossing streets either.  Maybe I will when I get to be really old and cannot cross a street in a reasonable time.

However, what will be fantistic is taking it down to two lanes will cause people to slow down.  I wonder how all of this will affect the farmers market?

Anyone have some numbers on how slow it can get before discouraging casual traffic?

If you remember the Camille's had a curb cut for parallel parking along 15th.  Mi Cocina has filled that in presumably for more outdoor seating, which is a great idea.  It looks they are getting pretty close to being finished.

Palace Cafe, which was closed for renovations, opened back up this past weekend just in time for Restaurant Week.  They have a nice bar now and more contemporary decor.

They are working on the La Madelaine and Lululemon.  Lululemon is supposed to open later this month and La Madaleine by December (Though I think that's optimistic).

I don't know how to feel about La madaline knocking down the small building behind their space.  I know that it wasn't a great space, but it just seems like they are a (Dallas!) company that is catering to the automobile.

As a Southie I think I'm supposed to demand pictures from you.

As a former mid-towner I'd like to request an opportunity to live vicariously through you by seeing pictures of which you speak.

Whichever works.
