FreshCo is an excellent deli/breakfast place. The woman who runs it is a jewel of a human being. I’m telling you it’s a sight to be seen the way she knows everyone who walks through the door. She’s watched children grow up in her shop, she knows their birthdays, she helps me with my little ones when I have to juggle them to the bathroom. She’s never met a stranger and it’s a gorgeous little slice of humanity.

Plus she keeps an absolutely spotless kitchen, makes a delicious bagel/breakfast sandwich/whatever you want, has Taylor Ham/pork roll, and she carries bagels from that guy with the cult following who usually distributes them for pick up from one of the local churches. Eric’s Bagels. They’re solid.

Everyone goes to Mecha but there's another Raemen place 6 doors down called Kyushu which is arguably better.

Judy's BBQ is really good and it is the definition of "hidden" because they closed the physical location. You can still order pick-up but you have to go to the other restaurant Tabouli in Bulls Head.

Let it be known your viewpoint is completely disconnected from reality.

For starters, that bridge is irrelevant to Soul Tasty's access to customers. They're literally off of two major roads — Tresser and Washington. The only people that bridge would convenience are people who live on Stillwater Avenue. Anyone further than that can simply drive to Tresser. It's worth noting everyone on Stillwater... is walking distance from the bridge. That bridge has nothing to do with Soul Tasty's ability to get business.

Second you're actively disseminating misinformation about a project that can't make any progress because of the exact misinformation you're putting out there. There are two cohorts who prevent anything from happening to that bridge. 1) People who want it restored because it has historic value and 2) people who want to drive on it. Restoring the bridge is possible but it is financially irresponsible to repair it to a point of allowing cars. The cost is way too high for a bridge no one would even use. There are traffic studies that prove this. Any traffic going over that bridge can just as easily use Tresser.

So you can make it a historic bridge you can walk on, or you can knock it down and let people drive on it. Those are your options. No one likes those options, which is why the city has taken so long to do anything we lost almost a million dollars from a grant expiring. I've never even heard of that happening. We got a grant a decade ago and didn't do anything with it. Enough.
