I had high hopes that the Jus’ Fish post was going to have Kings Retreat potential.
@5, how do you connect those two? Tell us more, or at least start that topic back up!
So this 425 N. 25th Street new mixed use construction. I thought this property was reserved as a to-be-paved parking lot for the yet-to-be-completed East End Theatre apartments? As I recall, parking was a big issue for the Theatre development.
@7 Mandy, if you click on the first part of the sentence “The agenda” it’s a link and will take you to the city’s website. Shows plans and all that. Just scroll down until you see this project.

I may not dig the signage, but I’ll be first in line for fish! Can’t wait.

One more comment on CAR, this meeting and all other CAR meetings I’ve attended: they keep to the announced schedule and agenda, which is unlike any other city meeting I’ve ever attended. My thanks and appreciation.
Thanks for the follow up!
Could blue crab be considered a fish for purposes of this spot? I’d love to be able to walk to a fresh softshell sandwich or pick up a dozen #1 jimmies steamed to order at this location. Who
