Today I finally got a chance to take another look this morning at the inside of Foam, the upcoming coffeehouse/nightlife destination coming to 3359 Jefferson. Things are starting to come together and the place should hopefully be open sometime in January. Read more

The building on the NW corner of Lemp and Withnell at 1901 Withnell has always caught my attention.

I just got some terrible news on this. I just got a message from a reader who said that the Neighborhood Association didn’t approve their proposal. They wanted the Friday and Saturday hours to be restricted to 10pm. Knowing they couldn’t compete with other nearby establishments under those restrictions, Koronaz walked away. If anyone reading this was part of the group fighting this, I have a personal message to send out:

Shame on YOU! Someone wants to invest their hard earned money and labor in your neighborhood, during a downturn in the economy, and you tell them to buzz off.

There are still a lot of rough buildings in this part of the neighborhood. I’m glad to see that you support “progress”.

Sickening. Just sickening.

Now I find out that it’s not only under construction, it seems that they have a commercial tenant lined too: Koronaz. Read more
