7 p.m. TONIGHT
Second floor, Elena's Soul
4912 Baltimore Ave.
Councilwoman Blackwell's office has called this meeting to discuss four
restaurants looking to have legal sidewalk cafe seating: Gojjo, Cafe
Aksum, Dock St. & Elena's Soul. (An separate meeting was held earlier
for Vientiane, Desi Village & Atiya Ola's.) All of these businesses
ALSO have to go through a City application process, get permission from
the Streets Dept., pay for licenses and follow all City regulations -
but on top of that, Councilwoman Blackwell must introduce a law to
allow them to have outdoor seating. This meeting is for her to see if
we want these sidewalk cafes, or not.
As the weather warms up, I'm looking forward to dining on Baltimore
Avenue's sidewalks this summer! Plus, I think that having more folks
outside puts more "eyes on the street" and makes us all safer.
Finally, I'm grateful to these restaurant owners for choosing Baltimore
Avenue for their businesses, and us as the customers they want to
serve! It's a challenge to run a restaurant in Baltimore Avenue's
small storefront spaces, so I hope they can have a bit more space in
the good weather!
I hope you'll join me in supporting these restaurants - but whatever
your point of view, you can express it tonight.
