Public Intern to the rescue! He can haul magazines, right?

How come African Mama never gets this treatment in The Stranger? Obviously, your new editor is more fascinated with WHITE PEOPLE BIZNESSES

THAT SUCKS. 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.

I seem to recall a very thorough Slog post on Africa Mama and it's neverending going-out-of-business sale.

Now I understand why Christopher is the new editor. Brilliant, probing journalism.

It sucks that a landlord thinks that way, but the conventional idea with mainstream chains is that they usually can be counted on to honor the terms of their lease and pay on time and in full every month. There's nothing tentative about their existence.

That sucks. It's an outrage. Yawn.

@4 : Africa Mama's going out of business ended not once, but twice this year. [seattle.metblogs]

Wow. Is there anything left on the old Capitol Hill?

So what did the owners say when you talked to them?

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

the tenent has been there for 23 years, and their lease was terminated. talking the the landlord might make the story more interesting, but i doubt it is necessary or would change the thrust of it.

Whining about a city growing and changing in provincial nonsense. 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.

I'm still waiting for Hooters. 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.
