Then we headed over to the new downtown Blue Monkey. At the time the old Blue Monkey burned down, I think I was eating lunch there about once a week. I tried to go to the Midtown Blue Monkey in the interim, but the menu isn't the same.
So I was pleased to see what looked like the old downtown menu back: there was the Bernie, the Havana, and all the yummy trolley car crisps.
Also saw the likely new digs of the UrbanArt Commission on Broad last night. I am a big fan of Broad (with the exception of the car break-ins) and am interested in seeing how the new unified development code works out there. It has such good bones.

The outside of the Resource Center looks intimidating -- side street, security keypad, walk up flight of stairs. They're "competing" with the resources and ease of access of the internet, so I would have hoped they would have made it more of a 3rd place.
otoh, it's good that UAC is moving to Broad. Where?
I think the City need to add a pedestrian crossing, with light, at Merton and Sam Cooper to connect the residential with Broad. Broad as a drive-up will only be 1/2 successful, imho.
The Resource Center does have a certain intimidation factor ... at the opening party, they had a band playing two feet to the right of the entrance. I felt like we had to sneak behind the band to get in.
Maybe it's all about self-selecting.
