I Can Has New Bar on Riverwalk?

[dbacks fan]

So how long did Blind Lemon's last at RWC?

[Townsend]

Riverwalk needs to be big enough that everyone who comes wants to do 203 things minimum. ie. dinner & movie, dinner & shopping, movie & drinks, etc. The retail is sparse and sparsely open so most people go to Los Cabos and then leave. You can't support a walkable district when everyone leaves after visiting one place. Not worth the trouble driving there and parking 2 blocks away.

Did you copy and paste that from someone's old post about downtown?

No, but downtown is about 10% better about it than RWC

But I don't have time to do 203 things!!

I did 203 things once, but the wheels fell off...

Why not another Mexican restaurant?

I say turn that area into an outlet mall. I garantee you people would flock to the RW if it had a gap, coach, banana republic, etc. etc. Sprinkle in a few good restuarants/ bars and I'm talking gold Jerry gold!

Nah, we go to Utica Square for that.

When did they turn Utica into an outlet?

April 1st, last year.  Go check it out.  You'll love it.

I live down south. That's a little too far a drive for this cat.

The outlet center idea cracks me up.

It LOLz me because I often think of the Tanger Outlet Mall in Stroud when feeling sorry for the Riverwalk.

The BEST thing that could happen to the Riverwalk would be an F-5 Tornado. Then, the property owners and small businesses (the few that have held on this far) could all collect insurance money and walk (run) away. Permanently.

If a tornado destroyed the Riverwalk, I can say with certainty that--like the Tanger Outlet--none of it would be rebuilt. Ever.

That's why there are two new building in phase 2 set to open in the next couple of weeks and I think people have started to move into the Riverwalk's new apartment complex.

By George you may be right!! We should place a call to the Sperry Van Ness office at Riverwalk to confirm this.


...oh wait.
