guess it didn't come across as i intended. apologies if it came across as offensive. am not talking about home cooks who cook anything, but restaurant operators who run multiple various ethnic restaurants specifically under the guise of the ethnic identity. i do find it strange they are attempting f...

nah, not really. is lame too when a restaurant calls itself authentic. what is being attempted here is awkward though for local chefs. they're better off just being urban dining restaurants that happen to have such influences than attempting both specifically called out as tied to different ethnic i...

huh, i didn't expect a PC response. talking about ethnic food and the ethnicity behind it is hardly a racial slur. a person opening a restaurant self-described as one ethnic variety (french) and then another restaurant next door with other ethnic take (italian) is essentially playing... manufactured...

looks ok, passable for a low rise. at least they have the taste to not plop in a suburban apt building with a raised roof. is the lower left the retail space with perhaps patio seating?

edit: foot in mouth.

Anyone have a rendering? Sounds good that it will include retail space, which I would hope is streetfront with the housing above. The description is not clear.

I wonder if investors are leary of JJ or that there are too many restaurants downtown. According to yahoo listing, there are over 150 in a one mile radius. That's quite a few for a downtown population under 20K. They do well for lunch given the workforce is about 100K but weekday evenings is getting...

Missouri has the lowest cigarette tax in the US. Given that MO is still a high smoking state, this could be an opportunity for either generating revenue or to reduce smoking. Could be a win-win if MO would bump up the tax... Missouri is number one on the list of lowest cigarette tax at only 17 cents...

The mobile access looks sharp (Android) but is there a way to view new/unread posts? Is not very useful to just see the board index and not able find not posts.

Search doesn't work for me.. it says.. "You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards." Try two words over 3 characters.. doesn't work.

Bside is not big on chains. Wonder how well it would do. BTW, I've been doing Bella Napoli in Bside lately. Imported meats like prosciutto, genoa salami, capicola, etc. and with hard breads. Not enough of these places in KC. Pandolfi's has Boarshead meats and Carrollo's is OK but most other places a...

This is a big waste of money, and every Missourian should be against it. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/fatal-attraction-politicians-and-eco-devo_575467.html Would like to see STL grow on its established strong areas than to try an tackle a new idea this ambitious and has no specific momentum ...

edit: double post.. test, can't delete this.

this forum software doesn't allow deleting posts?

i don't see how this can be completed by 2013 if it also involves a piece by piece teardown. i smell trouble down the road. also odd they are only adding one more floor than needed. there's a good chance they'll have more mergers in the future. seems downtown would've been the least path of resistan...

i'd make an effort to get rid of the edit counts.

apparently not many like the new board. not much activity.

Nah, get rid of it. There's reason to make corrections, it's not about dishonesty.
