Eater noted that the landlord is seeking $40,000 a month in rent.
Regardless, some fed up neighbors are petitioning the landlord "to only consider renting to a similar diner/restaurant: One that is low-key (soft lighting), affordable, with the same welcoming, friendly feeling."
And "NO! to franchises, bank fronts, noisy bars, phone stores..."

would "neighbors for a viable village" please start an official activist group? i would love to join. we need to channel the sh*t out of jane jacobs!!
And kudos to them for taking a stand against this!
I live in the neighborhood and will sign this and will add that if it's a chain store I will definitely not shop there and will encourage others to stay away.
unfortunately there are more of us then of them.
or locals that welcome the choice between chains and "locavore" or whatever.
or tourists that just want to eat.
used to e that a neighborhood could save a local asset and that not shopping there, or bad press meant something.
now all you need is a lot of money or one big name customer and everybody will flock there.
even for expensive bad food.
money money money
you can't eat money.
Boooooooooo! Me and my sis like 2 hang here! Lame!
