ROFLMAO!!!!

I think it would make a real cool video poker casino. I don’t care that that’s illegal here, as that’s something that should be changed.

And right on the light rail line, too, for easy staggering access to public transportation. Back in the day we'd sometimes stop in there and deliver homemade cookies to the firemen, on our way to HSPVA in the mornings.

Great location for icehouse/sportsbar. Definitly a huge market there. Dont know of a single bar in the area that is worth going to. I agree with rsb320. Great location for icehouse/sportsbar.

I can't think of a single bar in the med center or the whole are bounded by Main, OST, Holcombe and Almeda. It's just one apartment complex, vacant lot or stripmall after another. As George Costanza said, When you're bleak, you're bleak". That’s a good point - is that area zoned dry or something weird like that?

Doubtless it will be of the suburban-vast-parking-lot-out-front-beige-stucco-facade-strip variety but it's better than a wasteground. Marginally.
