Hate to add/change a topic, but I was down at the park today and there was a woman who works for the park telling an elderly couple they couldn’t take pictures. Anyone know the reason why? They were using what looked like professional cameras, but that doesn’t mean they themselves are professionals. Does using a professional looking camera mean you have to get a permit?

- I don’t agree that C-Town is “filthy”, but agree that it could use an upgrade to put it in the category of the Key Foods over the Pulaski, which is quite nice and a great cheaper option

- I hope the steakhouse stays but with some serious revamping. Their menu was boring and overpriced, but it’s a cool space and the only steakhouse around

Now a question: Why is that courtyard at the base of Citylights perpetually closed?

The BBQ and Steak restaurants and 99 cent stores are out and in their place come “Gourmet” health food, “sustainable” children’s boutique, a “green” bakery, air-conditioned pet gym with “holistic” food and “wellness” treats in the same neighborhood as a dog spa.

Looks like Cassidy’s, El Ay Si and Testiccio better serve only holistic organic health food if they want to make it in this neighborhood.

This is all going a little bit too far. Anyway we can get a normal grocery store other than the small deli’s, filthy C-town and Costco?

Anyone know what else they’re putting in East Coast building? (btw 4705 Center Blvd is East Coast 7, not 6) Been waiting on a coffee shop forever (not starbucks)
