Is Riverside/Avondale Ready For Mellow Mushroom?

[Josh]

I don't even care for Mellon Mushroom, and this upsets me to no end. Every time that RAP membership renewal form comes in the mail I always wonder why I continue to support them, but at least lately I have reasons to not renew in the future.

That sucks, I mean it's nice to see Mellow Mushroom taking into concern the neighborhood, but a few overzealous, litigants with some cash can go in and prohibit the same "don't tread on my business rights" that they champion everywhere else is ridiculous.

Well today, We Love Avondale is now opposing their own site plan at HPC.

This whole episode has gone from dirty to downright just rotten.

You're kidding me...?  I hope this destroys their credibility and removes them from the picture.  This is honestly one of the most unbelievable situations I've ever seen.  The corrupt and hypoctritical parading around falsehoods and the city is just eating it all up.

How can they oppose their OWN site plan?

How can they oppose their OWN site plan?

The building, which they proposed, has 'too long of a store frontage'.

If you dig deep, you'll see what's happening... and it's certainly not on the 'up and up'

[Timkin]

So am I understanding this right ?  We love Avondale is going to succeed in not letting Mellow Mushroom in... Is that about correct?

amazing how much bullshit some people get away with.

What a bunch of douche bags.

I hope they come to San Marco after the idiots in Avondale give them the boot!!!

I read the summary of Mellow's capitulations earlier and thought "I wonder what The Opposition" will come up with next...  Didn't take long to find out. 

At this point I think it's pretty clear that no amount of compromise and concession will satisfy the WLA-LLC crew. 

Shameful.

I vote for Downtown - Monster Mellow at the old Hayden Burns!! 

Sadly, I think that both San Marco and Downtown are both too close to the Southside location to make them appealing to Mellow Mushroom.  And really, when it's all said and done, Mellow will open in Avondale.

They should buy Monte's too and just open up in there, leave the gas station vacant, put a ugly fence up around it and give the rest of them the finger.

Weird.  The next block has continuous storefront frontage along the sidewalk for its entire length.  Interacting with the pedestrian and embracing the sidewalks are key characteristics of a walkable environment. Nevertheless, if that's the concern, the facade can be designed to look like anything.
