[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Wisconsin Avenue frontage looks so dead.  It's a shame that the neighborhood NIMBYs forced GDS to put redevelopment plans for this block on hold.  If mattress stores and Steak and Egg is what they want for the neighborhood, then what can I say.  The oldsters don't get what younger families want.  Wouldn't the school's vision have been better, with vibrant retail and smart-fast casual dining options?  I know someone who was thinking of this spot for DC's first-ever Israeli-Asian fusion option.  Would have been perfect, but he'll go elsewhere now.[/quote]

Your facts are all wrong here. While there are local residents opposed to the plan, they weren't ultimately responsible for GDS's about turn. The article below goes into great detail about the circumstances that led to the elimination of the residential portion of the plan. The article is long; references to GDS are towards the end.

I don't believe it.  The cranky yet all powerful palisade neighborhood dillweeds have someone on the payroll.[/quote]
