anybody know whats going on with the gaseteria on empire between washington and franklin? walked by on tuesday and they were removing the sign, the overhead awning came down sometime last week..
i am hoping the lot has been bought and something new is coming, but i fear it will remain a boarded-wasteland...

construction is a promising sign. It's been surrounded in chain wire fence and signs advertising gas for $3.50 for something like two years. _________________ Hey you! Enlighten up.

The bulldozers have been busy, and this site is now a barren patch of earth.
Give the proximity of the park, and abundance of fast food nearby, I'm not sure what I would put in that space.
...it looks like something is going to be built. _________________ Hey you! Enlighten up.

the sign on the fence now proudly exclaims::
COMING SOON: Checkers!!
not certain how i feel about ANOTHER food chain at this intersection.
*shrugs* i guess it's jobs though...

that's a good location for a Checkers, they focus on mostly drivethru business.
When all else fails, give people the bad food they want. _________________ Hey you! Enlighten up.

I am pretty sure that the new place being built on the corner of Bedford and Sullivan is a burger joint too. I believe it's owned by "Bedford Avenue Burgers".
That's a lot of burgers in a 5 block area. Wendy's, Checkers, McDonalds....
