I'm annoyed because I still have a $25 gift card to the spa. <br /><br />I'm not sure we can blame the economy when 95% of the Madison Park residence can afford to go to the spa daily. I don't understand how shops here fail or stay empty, while the all the sub-par restaurants flourish. None of the food between 39th and 43rd are even close to Seattle standards. I sometimes visit the restaurants because they are in walking distance but I would never go out of my way for any of them.Renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916194272690368879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450061648126809792.post-57289817620659629022012-03-07T07:58:50.590-08:002012-03-07T07:58:50.590-08:00The short answer to your question is "no"...The short answer to your question is "no" if you are referring to the two closed-up shops at the heart of the retail district.

They are a blight on the neighborhood and unfairly take the polish off the retailers that are open and striving to be successful. The dark rundown storefronts on Madison make the neighborhood less appealing to shoppers coming from other neighborhoods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450061648126809792.post-75155926895646778282012-03-06T22:22:08.097-08:002012-03-06T22:22:08.097-08:00We need more banks here in the park.

What gripes me now is that we only have 4 banks within a few blocks of each other. We can do better. Where's US Bank, Citibank? We have room here in the park for at least 3 more banks if you count the probable demise of the red onion and the crazy space we all know but still wonder about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
