So . . . I know things haven't been very "upbeat" around West 7th, specifically where the nightlife is... which is ironic, given that it's arguably the most successful part of the area.

But I said I would do this for the western edge of the core, and might as well start now. And I'm starting with one because I feel like I'd have a lot more research to do with this area.

Agreed re: Houndstooth and Walgreens, two needed additions to the area.

Although I like the idea of a Walgreens I just don't think it will work in that location.  I work a lot in commercial real estate and commercial insurance and it is missing 2 key elements.  Visibility and Parking.  No one will know it's there unless you live in Artisan Circle.   Also, despite the residential and retail in the area there is very little foot traffic, like you mentioned, during the weekdays.  If it was facing University or W7th I think that would make it much more viable.

Honestly, this one was a bit harder than Downtown...

I'm only up to 4.

Anyone want to throw out some suggestions, btw?

If we could only replace the CVS on Camp Bowie and place it here.

Sure, but they already have plenty of police presence there, now.

If you get a chance, the Red Stripe Chicken at Jamaica Gates Caribbean Cuisine (1020 W Arkansas Ln, Arlington, TX 76013) is good.  The place has been around for years which is saying something in this day and age.

I've probably heard of it in passing at some point, but that kinda hits what I'm saying... I don't know of any Caribbean spots in town without googling.

Would love to have a Caribbean restaurant so close to me so I am so down with this.
