Mellow Mushroom Grafitti?

Just drove by the new MM. Looks fantastic. Good work! 100000x better looking than Mojos. Hell, better looking than 9/10 businesses on the strip.

The Mellow Mushroom on St.Augustine Beach has outstanding architecture too.  Same owner?  Same architect?

It was nice to see MM crowded yesterday. The building looks very nice and I think it is an indictment to the idiots in the neighborhood who whined about it.

Speaking of MM.  There have been numerous cars parked on the edge of Boone Park over the weekend and today.  It is clear that MM is doing some training leading up to their opening next week.  These cars are parked legally.  Parked where people park all the time and are within the time limits (Not parked there after 10 PM). 

Today, however, some resident decided they did not like this and called Parking Enforcement.  So 2 Enforcement officers arrived and assessed the situation.  I walked over and talked to them some and they stated that a resident had called and told them they did not like looking out their window and seeing cars.  They wanted to see the park.  Parking Enforcement told them that the cars were parked there legally and there was nothing that Enforcement could do.  They officers stated that the Mellow Mushroom owner knowing he would have an influx of cars due to training told his employees to try and not park in the spaces near the shop or in front of residents' houses to avoid getting people upset.  I guess he had more faith in some of the residents than I do.

Of course, as I have stated before the residents in this area have no problem piling personal vehicles on the road as well as the park went it suits their needs.

There are several businesses in the Shoppes of Avondale that are directing their employees and customers to park legally by Boone Park and walk in.  It's not just MM.

The Riverside/Avondale Night Trolley is running again this Friday and Saturday nights which should ease some of the parking issues for those nights.  Everyone who has tried the night trolley has been very enthusiastic about it.  If this trial period works out JTA will run it every Friday and Saturday night.
