MayDay

Hey now, as one of the founders of this forum - I’ve been posting photos and editing billboards for almost 20 years here. That said, if you folks actually noticed and enjoyed that, I’ll step it up 👍

A little chilly but loving the lighting this time of year.

I believe so, but not sure how extensive they would be - even so, that would be great for the immediate area. The folks I referenced are/were behind the Home Pantry stand at the West Side Market. Purely speculative but I think if the Sokolowski’s site ever gets redeveloped, a small ground floor grocer (thinking along the lines of Constantino’s on West Ninth) would probably do well - walkable for a good amount of the neighborhood, foot and bicycle traffic with the Towpath and (hate to say it but) ample nearby parking with the lots across Abbey Avenue. Any way, back to actual construction projects.

Someone on one of the neighborhood Facebook pages has posted about opening a deli/grocery or something to that effect. As far as things like a drugstore, all the drugstore brands are struggling and closing a lot of locations so probably not likely any time soon. Once the next wave of developments comes online, it’ll be interesting to see if the market responds to the influx of new people.

“Tell me you’ve had a long week without saying you’ve had a long week.” I seriously didn’t even see that in my photo until you pointed it out 😳🤦‍♂️

A little bright this afternoon.

Guess it’s been a minute 😃

Glad everyone has been able to share their opinions (and we know what they say about opinions) about Heinens, parking lots, cart corrals and self checkout lanes, but let’s get back on topic.

My family always had a running joke/story about our visit back in the 70s. Adjacent to the tank that held Moses was the cafe. We decided to grab lunch; my Mom (passed away in January, RIP) decided to order a *fish sandwich* 😳 and we swear the whole time Moses was giving us the side-eye/ glare 💁‍♂️🤪 My Mom’s mannerisms were a combination of Rose Nylund from The Golden Girls and the Mom from A Christmas Story - but we always jokingly wondered was it all an act to cover some deep seeded evil persona 😈

As of Tuesday, still just the structural steel - didn’t see any glass going up yet.

A few more.

A few to start. Thanks again to @zbaris87for the tour!

From 315 this past weekend.

Same and if possible, a plus one 🙂
