Intuition moving to Forest Street?

[Riverrat]

I never really associate Intuition with the King St district, because I never think to walk from one to the other- I think of everything between college and park as the king st district and intuition and bold city as a separate  brewery district. When Bold city opened there was nothing there either and really there still isn't much.

I think people will drive the extra mile to Forest and once all the new development on Riverside opens they will likely be seen as pioneers of that area. I also could see people leaving LPS after work and hitting up intuition as a convienent happy hour spot.

+++++1 I completely agree!

The zoning issue was discussed a number of times on this site. The city evidently decided that food trucks conflicted with Intuition's zoning so they can't have them anymore. I suppose Bold City has that in order, and Aardwolf got a PUD that allows mobile food vendors specifically so they won't have to deal with the nonsense Ben's been put through.

That location is directly across the street from the COJ Animal Shelter. The shelter is a beautiful facility. However, I know that they have tried several times to expand to that location and are repeatedly turned down because the land is contaminated. The same was said for the location of the shelter now, however, something to do with it being across the street and some intense clean up made it possible. The property is now occasionally used for police dog training. If Intuition has private funds to help clean it up verses a city entity, that might make a difference.

If it does get approved, it will take a long time, but would be good to bring more traffic to that area for the shelter. They are building a huge condo complex right down the street on Riverside Ave so they'd get a lot of traffic.

When they decided to go into the corner of Park and King, he basically kicked them out of his courtyard.

So, you obviously just made this up.  Not sure why anyone would make up this sort of garbage.That's not true.

This comes dangerously close to violating our rules of civility.  It doesnt break them but it makes them sweat.

Don't want sweaty rules.  Changes made.

it is going to take 2 years to clean up the area, relax people. besides, that location will be easy access for everyone, there is a forest st exit right by the i-10/95 exchange and it is 2 miles from the original location. if you are too scardey cat to go there avondale (less than 2 miles from brewery) will have a wonderful addition this fall.

I think this is brilliant.  It puts them right between Brooklyn and Five Points, and gives Brooklyn some built in homemade flavor.

Couldnt be a more propitious move.

I think it's a good location, too. Extremely accessible for people going there, and great interstate access for trucks going out.

I just ate at johnny's on riverside ave and on the way back to work I used the Forest street onramp. I could see the building on the park from about 100 yards away and I could easily see the park stretching all the way to Mccoy's creek.  I did not feel like my life was in danger...... This time...

The location of the sweetwater brewery in Atlanta I'd equally sketchy, but their tap room is constantly packed when it is open. Granted, their hours are less frequent.  Intuition has always gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of their staff and patrons, and I don't see why they would stop now. They will be about 6 blocks from the nearest hub of pedestrian activity, which is the same exact story as when they opened on King Street.

Sweetwater isn't in a sketchy area...just an industrial/office park area.

Although not a suburban industrial park, the area of Mixon Town between the tracks and I-95 is essentially an industrial area as well. Outside of the shotgun rowhouses off Goodwin Street, there's not much residential left.  It's a fringe area ripe with redevelopment opportunity and within close proximity of Riverside and Brooklyn.

Frankly, the city is the last property owner I would want to deal with in a R.E. deal.

COJ might get around to cleaning up that ash after The Landing gets their parking.

Did he look at DT, other than Shipyards?

Given the number of cars Intuition attracts, the new site direct access to interstates and downtown, greater ease with growth and increased distribution, and how the potential new location screams speak-easy, it all seems great for the symbiotic new life to come to North Riverside.

I doubt Mr.Davis would leave King St. with a black eye.

What was this building originally? Would they be open for a paranormal Investigation of the location before they open? Our studies have shown people will pay more attention to the location if its haunted. We are a professional team here in Jaxx. Our site is www.jprs-rip.com. And yes we are the team that was on TV.
