An article in the Bee on the possible effect on the "Tower district" of the closing of the Towers. Let's hope Rob Fong gets off his seersucker-striped ass and does something. I'll remind you once again that I never received even an automated response to my letter about El Chico being an eyesore. Can an area really have too many restaurants? I don't think it can, but we'll see what fills the space. It's too bad that there's already a Starbucks across the street so they probably won't open another Starbucks, but you never know. The mayor probably has her fingers crossed for a Z gallery. Somebody in the comments suggested a Barnes and Noble, to bolster up the instersections strip mall feeling. This article fits well into the topic for my next Midtown Monthly article, which will be an eating tour of Broadway, focusing on some of the lesser known lights rather than the well-established places. So business at the theater is down, eh? First I've heard of it.
short arena bulletin for those who aren't paying attention:
-poll shows that measures Q and R are sucking it
-Graswich reports that the Kings moving to Anaheim is a done deal
-supporters aren't even bothering to spend all their money and Dave Jones is coming out smelling like a rose

Here's an idea. How about an all ages music venue?
the old Malarkeys venue (across from tower) was a great venue for mixed ages shows-- under 21's went in the side door directly to the stage and over 21's went in the bar entrance. Kids had to stay out of the bar, but 21+ could go back and forth as long as they left their drinks in the bar.
it seemed like a great setup and I've always wished somebody would start doing shows like that again.
... my personal dream is to see an Amoeba Records at 16th and Broadway.
I nominate "seersucker-striped ass" for best phrase of the week.
how about K Street Records moves in, after they get the boot from K Street???
