Exposed vents and intentional lack of sound absorbing materials to make the dining experience similar to a Jr High cafeteria at noon. Lol.

I lived about two blocks from that location for several years not too long ago. I’m not sure why nothing seems to stick but something I would have really loved would have been a small restaurant that provided quick and reliable pickup and delivery food. I’m thinking authentic street Mexican. That area is packed with students. Students like quick and cheap. Bonus if it delivers, esp after 10pm. Street tacos are cheap to make, easy to transport for pickup or delivery, and there are tons of options for flavor combos. I think I’d get away from turning it into a destination where one sits down to eat, although they could have a few small tables, and focus on high quality ingredients that travel well. It’s clear people no longer want to go to this location to spend any significant time given the failure of the past few businesses. It’s just a thought. Figure something out that appeals to the college student demographic but is also high quality enough that non-students would enjoy it as well.
