Qdoba to close all Northern Florida locations

[I-10east]

They didn't have a business in the Core, anywho.

Even if they didn't (which they did) so what? I find it hard to believe that a franchise restaurant that's purposely set out to avoid city cores. I'm SO sick of the whole 'core vs suburbs' mentality. I'm sorry, had to get it off my chest.

Its dumb.  Let it die.

You keep trying to manufacture this whole phony outrage thing, it literally exists only in your head and its dumb.

People on an urban vibrancy page are going to like urban areas.

Not sure what part of that isnt obvious?

Pretty sure he combs the threads looking for any mention of suburban mediocrity, unleashes faux outrage, moves on to the next one. Its trollish really.

We all get it, I-10. You prefer the suburbs over anything urban, which is fine. But I'm not sure what you we're expecting to hear on an urban blog.

Saw the sign on the door today. Not a bad restaurant. It's right next to my school, and almost everyone bought lunch there every day. Oh well, I'm graduating and I like chipotle better. But now my rewards card is useless!

You and Stephen are completely wrong! Wanna know what's trollish? Propaganda. "This sucha-sucha is bad, (normal American things of today) avoid it at all costs, but this (usually some hippie BS) is Shangri-la, and is the key to life as we know it. That's what is 'trollish'. Anyone who hasn't seen my love for things that are urban on MJ within posts and threads that I made is blind, or dumb; Want me to pull crap up for evidence? Look for yourself. I'm just adaptable and REASONABLE enough to understand that everything cannot be urban, it's impossible! So shame on me!

^^^You said that I'm 'manufactuing a phony outrage'. I'm not the one that's outraged here. You have it backwards, I'm not 'outraged' that urbanism exists, YOU are outraged that suburbanism exists. I have no problem with urbanism, in contrast to your beef with the suburbs; Can you atleast get that right?

That sure is a lot of exclamations! Oh lord, now you got me doing it. But seriously, here's a simple question: If all this "hippie urban crap" bothers you so much, why participate at all?

BTW, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with some of your points. I just don't see the need to lash out at anyone who promotes urbanism on an urban blog. You say their views are skewed a bit, eh? Well no shit. Like I said, look where you are. What's next? Going to hang out at a hospital & then complaining there's too many sick people around??

Basically what I'm saying is you probably need to get over it, and also get over yourself a bit. Because it seems like you're ranting & turning someone's innocent post around on them on a daily basis. And that indeed is trollish.

^^^I like the way you put words in my mouth when you added 'urban' between hippie BS. I thought that I was attempting to respond to Ben cordially, until the anti-suburban task force (you and Stephen) had to put out an APB on me.

By the way, the Tallahassee Qdoba Location is also closing at 3pm on friday.

I went to their facebook page... and they announced it... Sucks!

[I-10east]

^^^ Explain exactly how? I need to start doing that, just tersely calling someone's post 'dumb' is a good and quick way to withdraw from a debate.

Don't forget your chipotle-away.

Seriously Stephen, all that you said earlier is very dumb, I'm not even trying to be funny.

None of what you said makes any sense, as none of it applies to what I said. I never complain when someone says something positive about an urban environment, I dunno where you got that from. I never bought the whole "never pay for anything new outside of the core, because it's a detriment" argument; For instance, if it was up to you, there would be no SJTC, or RCMP, even if they were built to 'ideal urban specifications'; Just because where they are at, you hate them on that alone.

Hell, 99 percent of the time nowadays when people complain, moan, and whine about the suburbs, I don't even respond anymore like I used to because it's so tiresome, and redundant; I just kinda roll my eyes to myself. However, to think that a freaking franchise restaurant like Qdoba is not gonna build in a cities' core because they have an 'anti-urban agenda' is a lil' much don't you think? That's what I was responding to, until you and the rest of the 'anti-suburban task force' took issue with me. I know Stephen, "none of this makes sense, and it's dumb" go on and make that obligatory reply...

I hate to pick on you I-10 East but you are the guy that gave me a hard time when I complained how pedestrian unfriendly River City Marketplace is. It was a few years back but I praised the fact that the Northside finally got some shopping but that it was the crappiest layout for a shopping center in the history of Jacksonville. You CANNOT walk there. The group of strip centers are too far apart and if you try to cross over the main road to get to (god forbide) Walmart it's a near death experience. I work there and if you want to grab lunch you HAVE to drive your car. So much for the glories of suburbia.

Back to the topic at hand. I'm going to miss Qdoba. While its on the same level as Moes and Chipotle they all are pretty much the same to me but I usually enjoyed Qdoba the most out of the three. I also feel they marketed themselves the least. I mean the Chipotle markets the hell hell out of themselves, the "Back to the Start" TV spot alone must have cost millions.
