Slog - Comments on Newsstand News http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/newsstand_news J&S Broadway News is leaving their location, at least according to a sign I saw on the window last night. I just called to find out the details. Larry answered. You're moving? We just lost our lease and we're moving four blocks north, just past the Taco Bell and the Greek restaurant and the tobacco shop. We're moving into the old frame shop, across from the Jade Pagoda. Or, across from where the Jade Pagoda used to be. You guys have been there a long time, right? I feel sort of sentimental about you in that location. We've been here...

Obviously, your new editor is more fascinated with WHITE PEOPLE BIZNESSES

WTH is up with a landlord who doesn't value a stable tenant with a substantial history of success in their location? Ditching Broadway News in favor of more corporate tenants is idiotic. it's not just bad for the flavor of the neighborhood, but it's asking for storefront turnaround. You know any chain that isn't turning a profit right away in that location will just pull up stakes an open somewhere else. ugh ugh ugh.

There's nothing tentative about their existence.

Wait. You did contact them, right? Or is that a little too much to expect from alt-journalism?

Great cities rid themselves of businesses and buildings they no longer need so great new restaurants and housing can move in.

I'd like to see a wine bar or kosher Tapas place on B'way. I miss the one back in Williamsburgh.

Maybe either a Claim Jumper or Cheesecake Factory. They seem really popular on the eastside and in Tukwila. Or how something really upscale like the Outback Steakhouse.
