Since they tore down the old Notre Dame Convent and put up that boring, ugly apartment building that stretch of W. Broadway is just deadly nothing-no-where so may as well put a Starbucks there as anything else.
I will be very surprised if Starbucks doesn't come to the cafe space in the new development across the street from the Green St. T station, manhattan apartment rentals or to the Forest Hills development. As a JPer, I dread the day Starbucks announces it's coming - not because I even care so much about Starbucks but because of the outcry. manhattan apartment rentals (If you thought the Whole Foods debacle was bad...)
Do we know what the story is with that building? The "for lease" sign has been up for a year, but it doesn't look like they've finished construction inside yet, and the residential space doesn't appear to be occupied. I'd like to see businesses (any businesses!) move in to the ground floor, but the place is still unused.
Or unless there is something in it for the neighborhood. I remember being at a community meeting about the development of the Convention manhattan apartment rentals Center and people were debating the boundaries of South Boston (and where exactly the South Boston Waterfront started/ended). One long time resident stood up and said South Boston ended in the middle manhattan apartment rentals of Boston Harbor, halfway to the airport.
I'll be interested to see how it does right across the street from the Broadway T Station. There might be an interesting mix in there - people manhattan apartment rentals coming out of their class at South Boston Yoga and people trying to bum cigarettes because no one would give them one at the bus station across the street.
