From a Shaw listserv:
“My name is Josh Saltzman and I’m one of the owners of Ivy and Coney. We are excited to present to the neighborhood our planned roof deck expansion. This will entail us adding a full kitchen (because we know everyone is tired of eating just hot dogs), an outside bar and more seating. Additionally, the roof deck will have 12 foot walls and a retractable roof that will allow the deck to be enjoyed in all seasons and provide a large measure of noise reduction. We would love to here from all of you, our neighbors (and hopefully our customers), regarding what you think of our plans. We welcome all critiques, good and bad. We will be hosting a meeting at the Kennedy Rec Center this coming Tuesday, May 26th at 7 PM to answer any questions or concerns. Please feel free to pass our information along to any fellow residents that are less technologically inclined. A small slide set with more details: Expansion-Overview (PDF)“

Just noticed Indulj has trash bags lining their windows. Anyone know if they closed for good or just renovations? Their website and facebook are still live but their facebook hasn’t been updated since Dec. 2013. Also their phone goes directly to a busy signal…

Thanks to a reader for sending. New sports bar and beer garden from owner of Bar 7? Lux Lounge had their lease terminated back in July 2014. Think a new sports bar would do well here?
