Why don't you put it next to your house Lake since your such a big proponent of commercial use next to residential? Where do you live again?  |

building something new (new commercial) next to something that's been there forever is one thing but if you move in next door to a car wash that has been there since 1955, well?  ? |

City means mixed use, commercial and residential, loud and quiet, clean and dirty, rich and poor, purple hair and hair nets, and all in between.
Suburbs means a neighborhood of single family homes neatly connected by a common theme.
So where does Springfield fit in?

There are 5000 people living in the historic district.
SPAR and its fellow travellers represent 200 of them.
So less than 5% of the population.
Really, why should anyone at all care what this group of never happy sabotuers thinks?

Dunn Avenue Starbucks is shuttered and gonzo! I stopped there 1st time back in September only to find it out of business!
I used the drive by at this location this past Sunday and I explained I would certainly have to print this retraction. They are indeed open, have been going strong for 3 years now and the gal working the drive thru did not know of any recent temporary closure but then she had only been working there about a month now. It's a convenient stop, love the drive thru, as I often go to Camden County, GA to see family on my days off. This update won't help Springfield but it is what it is! Sorry if I mislead anyone, please patronize Starbucks on Dunn Avenue! (Wow, I see I also misspelled September originally. Ugh...that's why I don't post often. Typos will make me insane.) |

Although it is not Panera, I receieved a newsletter email this week from Jeff at Three Layers and they will be adding in some Panera type lunch elements... We are adding to our lunch menu this week too. Look for our new "Pick Three" & Paninis coming this week! |

Glad to see that Three Layer is adding to their menu and branching out to boot! I got to ask if Panera has SPAR approval to set up shop.............I mean, they may not be high end enough to suit them?

That is great news about Three Layers. Though, I suggested hot dogs once and I could tell that Jeff seriously thought about throwing me out on my ear! (hey, they are easily cooked, affordable, most people eat them and they can be "gourmet!)
As to Panera‘s, it would be great, but I’m not sure they think Springfield and Main Street are quite ready for them yet. I would think it would depend on where most of their San Marco clientele came from, the downtown side or the San Marco and out further side. However, in today’s economy, they may just adopt a wait and see attitude towards opening a replacement store for San Marco.

I'm glad they will be open on Mondays. Seems like Mondays are a good day for a strong cup of coffee.

Ok, so to clear it up:
The Starbucks on Dunn is closed, obviouisly they didn't do so well.
There is a Panera on the Northside, in the Rivercity Market, which has a variety of other destinations as well. Given equal distance, I would guess that that location would draw better than one on Main.
While I would welcome a Panera, I think the odds are stacked against it. Maybe in 3 years. =(
Really ...why? |
