So, i went to this
at the Big Bear.
It was a pretty hoppin scene. lots of people showed up. i saw a ton of neighbors i knew and more that i didn't.
The big bear is almost completely gutted. there were displays by corcoran students. some good ideas, but its doubtful that any are the real thing, as it was just a class exercise.
The second floor will (sadly) become an apartment. Could make a great lounge area, screening room, bar. but seems that the owners may need to generate some income from the place. go figure.
So, everyone that i knew and talked to their seemed pretty excited by the potential, and the reality of some decent place to hang out in the hood.
The onwer has asked for some input, so please visit his site and let him know what you think!
they'll make a lot more money having that second floor be a bar over the potential rent they would get from someone that would want to live over a coffee shop.

i'll say amen over a drink with ya.
i'd guess that they have an existing CofO and that a liquor licence might be pretty hard to come by.
