[quote=Anonymous]16:09 You are funny, or maybe just 12, but either way, funny.  Thanks for finally coming up with a suggestion!  Wow, that took a lot of huffing and puffing to get out of you.

I am not sure Little Red Fox and Bread Furst would consider themselves "crappy fast casual", but those are your words not mine.  Hey, if you prefer and are content with the Diner, Pumpernickles, and Bread and Chocolate then that is your palette and you have to live with it.  I prefer more refined options that are fresh, updated, and clean.  Not much has changed in years and those options show it in the grim on their floors/walls, grease in their food, and staleness of their menu.

And BTW, sounds like we have similar ideas in mind - shut down the current crappy food selections and open nicer ones.  Unfortunately, this means getting rid of a variety of stores not just the two you have in mind.  Again sorry, if you would prefer Pumpernickle and the Diner to something like Little Red Fox or Bread Furst (both my suggestions and neither are a big chain), but that is your palette.  I (and many people I know) would just prefer something more refined, updated, and cleaner.  And yes, a good mixture of tasteful fast casual as well as sit down (mostly dinner/lunch) options.  No neighborhood commercial district can survive on white table cloth sit down restaurants alone - you need the mixture to keep the foot traffic going through the day and night and to appeal to the masses.  It's a basic concept, just update what is currently there - no big box stores, no fast food, just nice independent or mid-sized businesses that suit the needs of our neighborhood.  Grab a cup of coffee, have a salad or sandwich with a friend or to go for lunch, dinner on a week night with the kids, dinner out Saturday night with your spouse.  All would be popular options on Conn Ave from updated, fresh, and clean vendors.  Macon, Blue 44, Jetties, and Capital Crab are a good start but more is needed to replace the existing bad options (including the two you mentioned) - Really shouldn't be to controversial (unless you just prefer what is there currently).[/quote]
