Howdy PH Folks,

What kind of Business would you like to see on the corner of Washington Ave. & St. John's Place? They cleared out all the garbage from the store front and the basement a couple of month ago. I'd like to know what people think.

    a self-serve cafe with good coffee & tea, bagels, sandwiches, fresh bread, maybe soup and other easy, cheap, but TASTY to-go style options.

    oh, with tables and maybe sofas to chill, for those who want to linger. --- open LATE.

    or a thai food restaurant.

    Deacon Blue? I don't think they're open mornings/afternoons except Fri-Sun. If they are, please correct me! Even without couches, I'd be happy to while away a day or two in there.

    Even so, I'd love for there to be a cafe (not a restaurant/cafe) on Washington.

    It could end up being something to match Underhill and St Johns.

    They are working on being open more hours. Mention to them your wish might help them along. =)

    Someone "strolled" you at one time. Don't be a "Breeder Hater".

    Peace.

    Wait... what? Of course we want a KFC to go in there! Rumor has it that chicken bones affect white people in the same manner that garlic acts on vampires.

    Again, Applebees is the correct choice.

    The problem with the K-Fry idea is that there are also non-white people who dislike garbage in the street. Good job implying otherwise tiger.

    That corner of St. John's and Underhill is my favorite ( architecturally) in the neighborhood. Its a shame that the owners have let many of the buildings go the sh*t around there - including the corner market on the north side of the street.

    Check out old nabe photos:

    I too would have loved to live on the top floor of the "laundry" building.
    But the current tenant/ owner doesn't seem interested in fixing it up so should it just sit there and be crappy - maybe not.

    The building looks okay, I probably couldn't afford a unit in it, but it will help increase my current property values so that makes me happy.
    Will there be retail on the ground floor? I am going to check DOB website...
