Did it annoy the fish in the Petco across the street, or something? I did like Common Grounds, too (more for the space/people, than the coffee. Just not a coffee guy.). I always enjoyed that music.

I did like Common Grounds, too (more for the space/people, than the coffee. Just not a coffee guy.).

I ran into the guy who had the junk shop a couple of years ago and he told me he moved to North Capital street somewhere. I lost his card, but he's still going strong. Said it was a pain trying to run that shop there. The cops kept citing him for the horrifying offense of playing his CD player outside and of having real junk inside the junk shop. Common Grounds was much better than Murky Coffee. I was sad to see Common Grounds go. Well, the junk shop was before it became Common Grounds.

That was pretty much a junk shop, too, wasn't it? I hear you on Clarendon (I've got a post in the works about all the Wilson Blvd. changes/empty spaces). Those mainstreet spaces right on Wilson/Clarendon must be the subject of some strange lease provisions/battles. And then there's just the usual shady dealings (like the one that kicked out Lazy Sundaes for a Mexicali Blues expansion that *still* hasn't happened, 18 mos later . . .).

why do you prefer Common Grounds to Murky?

Don't you want big business to succeed? ;-) what is annoying me about Clarendon is all the prime real estate that is going empty. I called one of the landlords and they said they would only rent to someone who has owned a restaurant before which is fine but I have got to believe that for the past two years somebody would have been interested by now. why do you prefer Common Grounds to Murky?
