16Mar 3, 2010 6:16 PMindependent gym with weights and classes
17Mar 3, 2010 8:08 PMJust keep the big chains out. Feel pretty negative about condo/business development
18Mar 3, 2010 8:25 PMe.g. art galleries
19Mar 3, 2010 10:20 PMLet entrepreneurs and market decide. Community should merely decide where and within what constraints.
20Mar 3, 2010 10:44 PMNo more Asian food or pizza or hair salons. Control commercial business and reduce to a minimum.
21Mar 4, 2010 12:41 AMnot a big bookstore

32Mar 4, 2010 8:06 AMmexican food
33Mar 4, 2010 6:16 PMno tanning or nail salons, no large chains
34Mar 4, 2010 8:22 PMFor a Cinema to be financially feasible, it would have to have many screens. That would bring in too much traffic, which might be good for the business district but kill the neighborhood feel we have. I think our amazing local library competes too much with a potential bookstore.

121Apr 7, 2010 4:51 PMLiked the pharmacy/shop that was at 35/75 where QFC was (darn them for taking it over and then closing!!!) and now Bloosoming Buds is; possibly a genearl community center building (use old Jewish center?) for locals to gather for private parties, community classes, fairs/festivals
122Apr 7, 2010 8:05 PMBecause I don't own a car, this business district is not easily accessable for me. So I would vote for better cross town buses on NE 75th.
123Apr 8, 2010 7:31 AMfew additions would be nice, but we need to keep the nature of the area quiet, safe and educated.
