OLD BLIMPIES ON VALLEY ST???? archived

I think they asked for a variance that ran into problems, but don't remember the details.

michael? oh michael? are you out there? or howard? can you shed some light on this? (you're the only two bot members i know who read mol on a regular basis) thanks.

bumpity!

Probably a victim of the economy also. It takes cash/credit up front to jump start a business.

JTA - I think "DottyParker" probably has the best guess. The restaurant was approved by the Planning Board many months ago, but we have not heard anything official from them since.

Thank you, Michael. I was wondering myself.

BRING BACK BLIMPIE'S!

Thank goodness for the one still open in Mplwd...

Nah...I was never impressed by either Blimpie's location.

The new Subway on SA is better so far.

thanks michael for letting us know dotty might be right. at least blimpies didn't tear down their building.

Actually, I'll take Crane's or The Great Wazu over any of those franchises, wouldn't you?

I don't understand how Subways and Blimpies stay in business (or Pizza Hut, for that matter) in an area with so many great, authentic, local shops.

What about the empty building across from the high school? Shed any light?

musicme1,

That's in Maplewood. You'd have to ask one of the council from there.

People like reliable and familiar. The local places are better, sure, but they are often a bit different from each other.

Sad but true.

Crane's sandwiches are fantastic. If you haven't tried one yet, you are really missing out.

Crane's sandwiches are great, but Subway has a $1.99 6-inch ham and chesse that’s the perfect size for lunch for me.

that wreck has been empty for a while. at least they didn't know the building down to lower the taxes like beifus and syaid did in south orange...
