You think there's enough foot traffic to support an ice cream shop?

An ice cream shop might work well downtown. Other than the Children's Museum, there isn't a lot downtown that's "family friendly" there might be a niche for something like this.

It's a testament to the efficacy of the building codes. That duct on the side of the building is fire-rated by code, and protected the rest of the building for enough time for the fire department to r

So I was downtown the other night with a group of friends and we noticed that this space has signs in all the window for Korean BBQ and Korean Karaoke. For some people that might seem a little odd but

Looks like Red Robin will be adding a second location near Woodland Mall, probably in the former Greektown location.

I might be wrong, but I thought it was going in another outlot by the theatre. There is a grassy empty spot next to On The Border. Too bad that Max and Erma's went out, that would be a great place for some patio seating in the summer. Add a restaurant where Sbarro used to be with a patio and it could be pretty cool. Hopefully, the new owners are working on something!

I went to Graydon's Crossing the other night. It is on Plainfield just north of Leonard. They opened three weeks ago. Really reminds me of the London Grill in Plainwell if you have any idea what that is!

It's got that English Pub feel to it with some great food and many, many, many beers on tap! I definitely recommend it!

What's a Kansas City Dipping Company?

There's one in K-zoo, it's bar grill type of place that offers a full menu plus these amazing dips a whole bunch of them (30+) (they range from hummous style, to greek, to good old cream cheese based, gourmet style) you put them on cucumbers, pita chips, nachos, celery. Then they have that for ice cream :) delicious...their wings are better than BW-3.

Sorry to get too far off topic, but why would such a prominent downtown booster not locate his company downtown? It isn't like they have hundreds of employees that would cost millions to relocate. And it would be a sign of confidence that they put there money where their mouth is. I'm sure I am over simplifying it, can someone smarter that me shed a little light.

Hmmmm.. where did you sit.. and what time.. I remember serving a few Ruebens friday evening :ph34r:

So, on my weekly trek to O'tooles yesterday, I peaked in the window of Montes. :ph34r: When they said remodel... they really meant to say "Gut the whole damn place of EVERYTHING". Nothing is left in there, not even the bathrooms... I think i'll keep a weekly update going since i'm next door almost every sunday :alc: (which makes mondays suck just a little more)
