Who is talking about preventing certain types of places from being on the avenue?

Did you just get all angry about comments you made up in your head. Because I never said nor implied

>certain types of businesses shouldn't get to be on the avenue.

Just that I was disappointed that a bunch of stores have left and non-stores took their place. That there are now fewer stores. That's it. That's the post.

Imagine if you went to a zoo and they sold all their mammals. It's still a zoo. But you can still be bummed there aren't lions and elephants and stuff. That doesn't mean you hate birds.

Did everyone forget how to read today?

The avenue isn't, and as far as I know has never been, strictly a "restaurants and shops" place. Rather, it's the heart of a neighborhood and as such it has plenty of mundane businesses. Off the top of my head it's got a church, a dentist, multiple barber shops and hair salons, a pediatrician, at least one bank, a coworking space, and a family center. That's part of what makes it vibrant. If places like those and the title company were prevented from being there it would be feel like (and really, be) just another soulless, master-planned entertainment district. I don't think there's too many people who want that.

> People who believe in “purity” tend not to like me

You're the only one I see here arguing for any sort of purity. You're the one suggesting that certain types of businesses shouldn't get to be on the avenue.

Is the code available upon request at the counter?

I think typically anyone can use facilities in a restaurant if they buy something. Even homeless people. It’s a business not a public toilet. If you’re entering a business with no intention of supporting them don’t get pissy when they don’t support you either.

You presumably lock your doors as well. Why do you hate the homeless? They need to sleep indoors. They need your food and your bathroom. Right?

I was excited for Medium Rare, but thought they were going into the theatre space. Then the news the theatre was returning…

And can someone tell me how an all outdoor restaurant works? Do they only open when the chance of rain is below 40%? Do they chain up the furniture every night, or just let the Hampden zombies camp on it all night?

Many Starbucks across the country have bathroom codes. A few years ago they changed their policy to allow non-customers to use the bathrooms, or even just loiter inside for hours without buying anything. Of course, this led to disaster in many urban Starbucks, so they revised this policy. But shhhhh, it's a secret. Starbucks doesn't want to lose their liberal base.
