P.S. There's already a Trader Joe's across the street.

The Star also had a bit about Petco going in the space where Zupan's was supposed to open on Broadway.
Posted by Jenny | February 7, 2006 12:57 PM
Great -- let's kill off the mom and pop pet store at 28th and Broadway after they just expanded. Thanks again, developers!
Posted by Jack Bog | February 7, 2006 1:20 PM
Not to mention the pet store at 18th and Broadway....
Posted by Betsy | February 7, 2006 1:35 PM
I wouldn't worry too much about the mom-and-pop pet store--that part of town is fairly liberal/lefty, and PetCo is regarded as a bit of a "bad actor" to many progressives. (Various issues, mostly surrounding their possible turning-a-blind-eye-to-backyard-breeders.) Note to the lawyers: I'm not saying they do, just that many pet advocates believe that they do.
As for the grocery store, Whole Foods DOES show a site on "NE Sandy Blvd." in their list of future stores, so it is at least something they are planning on.
As for the building @ 16th and Broadway (which I have to drive past whenever I visit my folks in Irvington)...yeesh! What a stinker! I wonder if anyone who pre-ordered a condo--while Zupans was still being promised--has tried to get out of their deal? What a lousy building that turned out to be, and on prime real-estate, no less. How unfortunate.

And my realtor friends tell me it leaks like a sieve.
Posted by Jack Bog | February 7, 2006 2:03 PM
The people who live just north of Broadway on 39th are going to be ticked--everyone coming from the south, north, or west is going to take their side streets to get to that store, given the fact that you can't turn left from Sandy. That area is already a traffic nightmare (relative to Portland)--I don't want to think about what happens when you throw 300 yuppies looking for quality dry-aged manchego into the mix.
Posted by Dave J. | February 7, 2006 2:17 PM
It would be more than just 39th. Every street from 33rd to 43rd south of Knott would probably be impacted -- Knott, too. I know the city's been talking traffic improvements on Sandy. I hope there are some left turns (with dedicated lanes and turn arrows) going in.

Dave J.-
You seem to know your way around the cheese aisle. I'd tell you not to throw stones, but you already have an armful of brie, crackers and (f-ing) Merlot.
Posted by TK | February 7, 2006 2:35 PM
I'll just give THREE CHEERS for the Hollywood Star. That little newspaper is the best source of neighborhood news around. From land use issues to new business announcements, it's the best. And they really know how to sell those ads!
I just wish Troutdale had a neighborhood newspaper this good, instead of the Nickle Ads a.k.a. The Gorge Connection.

""""I know the city's been talking traffic improvements on Sandy""""
Huh? All I ever hear about is traffic calming, boulevard making, streetscapes, bubble curbs, islands, lane reductions and ped/bikle improvements.
Posted by gadfly | February 7, 2006 3:45 PM
I know someone that had a pre-order on the 1620 building on Broadway, but he pulled out when things started going bad. He was able to get out...
I hear they have had ~14 units available since they opened and they can't sell them....
Posted by Michael | February 7, 2006 4:10 PM
I think Whole Foods has been planning on a Hollywood location for a couple years now. It's worth noting that they have a history of creating adequate parking.
That area does need a major traffic overhaul. They dump you off the freeway into a light almost immediately and it's a pain winding your way onto Sandy from there. But they could also use a grocery store. I think the closest is QFC. Trader Joe's doesn't really count.

I am thinking about opening a Super Bronzing Shop and not just for baby shoes as I see a need for Oregonians to remember things like Mom and Pop biz folks, log trucks and OSP patrol cars to name a few.
Posted by Abe | February 7, 2006 7:34 PM
"Trader Joes doesn't really count".
I strongly disagree with your comment. Trader Joes happens to be one of the best things that has happened to the Hollywood area. It is not only AFFORDABLE but offers everything from shampoo to fresh veggies, beautiful fresh flowers, a great variety of cheeses and great customer service. Freddys and SatanWays prices are often 2 times more expensive for some of the same items.
Posted by Karin | February 7, 2006 8:20 PM

Agreed. Now, if we could only address THAT parking lot...
Posted by Dave J. | February 7, 2006 8:29 PM
Are you sure that is a parking lot? I thought it was an accident lot.
