The Business Journal reports that the Olive Garden on 6th & Hennepin has closed due to slow evening sales, after only two years in the location. Previous restaurant closings in the vicinity include TGIF's, Copeland's and Nick and Tony's Chophouse. I miss Copeland's.
What's the solution for Hennepin Ave between 6th and 8th? Live theater does well a couple blocks south, how about the movie theaters in Block E? Are they making it; doing well, or just getting by? Last time I was at a late movie in Block E theaters, I found the Hennepin Ave. street scene troublesome... not inducive to normal business activity or welcoming to out-of-town guests. What are the crime statistics (trends) over the past five years in that location? Do they correlate with lost restaurant business? Mike Hohmann Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
