I thought it was a typo for 12th St., but Christopher & 12th St. don't come close to intersecting. I wish that people would give an address (street number) when identifying a place, automatically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-7310003644510912622011-01-18T08:11:44.473-05:002011-01-18T08:11:44.473-05:00hey, Tricia, that's great! thanks for passing ...hey, Tricia, that's great! thanks for passing along the news and keep us posted.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-75368380324767334522011-01-17T17:43:21.065-05:002011-01-17T17:43:21.065-05:00On Saturday I happened to see Norma coming out of ...On Saturday I happened to see Norma coming out of Cabo and stopped to talk.

We had to give up on eating here years ago because they'd always be finished with the meat dishes before 5... frustrating to want to order food and they've always run out, or there's one piece of chicken left in a pool of oil. Yes, I KNOW it was more of a lunch place, but we didn't want to eat something that heavy for lunch... and if you want to survive in a tough market, sometimes you have to adapt. Sad to see them go, but maybe if they'd stepped up a little, they'd still be hanging on.Born in Chelseanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-39743220095273436632011-01-07T13:50:50.757-05:002011-01-07T13:50:50.757-05:00And the test is when the replacing hot spot goes o...And the test is when the replacing hot spot goes out of business in a year or so, does the place stay empty for years? How many institutions get shoved out and this happens? Why do many landlords seem content with valuable store front spaces staying empty for long periods? The market is for price gouging and greed at the expense of the life of the city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-31454479580534734052011-01-07T12:43:53.684-05:002011-01-07T12:43:53.684-05:00That place was great.

Sad to see Cabo as well as its next door neighbor From Earth to You closed. The neighboring business owner told me the building the 2 restaurants occupy was sold.
