I seem to recall that rcarter31 led that charge. His above post should be interpreted with that in mind.

Ah, so this quote from ml1’s link is that Ron Carter.

“We need new business in the area, but a fast-food chain doesn't help economic development,” said Ron Carter, who lives down the street from the site. '”It starts a slide, not a growth.”

Well played, rcarter31.

 thus the winky at the end of the post


if I'm not mistaken the proposed site for the KFC is to this day still a vacant lot.  I guess if one lives a few houses away a vacant lot is better than a fast food joint.

Actually, the spot was on the east side of Yale at Springfield. Turned into a nice piece of development in the end.


Sadly, I don't play the bass. Had to explain that to Miles's assistant once.


One of the kinder things that had to be explained to Miles’s assistant, I bet.
