What is a small business you would like to see in Riverside/Avondale?

I have an amazing plan for that area. The only thing stopping me - no money.

Avondale has the fox for breakfast, which is delicious. I would personally like to see Chipotle or Burrito gallery open in Riverside, in 1661 would be ideal. Otherwise, a replacement for Armor, or just a good men's casual clothing store.

I wish we had a great men's casual clothing store ANYWHERE lol especially in 5 pts. there are at least 5 women's cutesy lil stores and the only thing for men is half of Wolfgang lol. Now if i could only open a store specializing in the opposite of Big and Tall... Short & Small lol. i think i'd make a killing...

A creperie it sounded like strange concept to me but I tried it in St. Louis and its great. A thousand meals all made with crepes. I had a buffalo chicken crepe and my wife had an Italian creation. We went back the next morning for more traditional breakfast crepes.

Of course I would also love to see a street car "Small" business in Riverside.

Maybe crepes served on street cars. You could feed me while taking me to work.

What happened with all the yogurt shops? Seems like it was a trend in the late 80s and then they all disappeared.

You can get a hundred different kinds of frozen yogurt at the grocery store now, not to mention the economy crushing people's expendable income. I'm sure going out for dessert isn't high on most people's list of priorities.

Fish & Chips? Where are the fish places in the area. There was one at King Street...not sure if it's still there.

3 Things:

1) Bookstore. It would make a killing.

2) Computer store. It would make a killing.

3) A Club. There are plenty of restautant bar type places around. There's not a typical high-end, trendy club around. Nearest is downtown. Wouldn't make a killing, but it would do ok and fill a void.

Well, there is Eclipse.

1. There are bakeries on Edgewood as well as in the shopping area along Fishweir Creek on St. Johns Avenue. Plus the widely known Let Them Eat Cake, Sheila's, etc.
2. Kickbacks and Ragland's have over 100 beers on draft and who knows how many bottles combined and hopefully will be carrying Bold City's drafts once they become widely available.
3. I would love to see an Indian Restaurant on this side of the river.
4. Curry Thomas has had a hardware store right off the corner of Edgewood and Post for decades.
