  1. Thank god that crappy bar is shut — hopefully something fun an interesting will take its place! I also hope they sell some vegetables! This neighborhood has a distinct lack of healthy food choices.

  2. I thought El Mexicano bar was just being “converted” by the owners’ kids, not really sold. There was a notice up about it maybe 6 mo. ago, but nothing has happened.
