I think the soon-to-open Acme Cafe was one. I wonder how many are left on minor arterials and collector streets - the smaller streets.<br /><br />As for the NAs, it will be interesting to see how they weigh in on the North State Hospital Campus. Will they allow commerce and density? Or insist on single-family housing.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-47960575350185056422013-11-26T08:14:56.346-08:002013-11-26T08:14:56.346-08:00Lee: I have been watching that place too.

Its interesting that most of the newer infill buildings in the Portland streetcar districts are modeled after old service stations. If it can happen in Independence it should be able to happen here: https://www.facebook.com/MecanicoPub<br /><br />I agree Howard Hall would be a great candidate too.<br /><br />This gets to the point I have tried to make about "good enough urbanism". Salem has lots of potential for this kind of stuff that doesn't require sugar daddy developers or leadership from the city. The biggest obstacle could be the neighborhood associations.Curtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-28823764783103861222013-11-25T22:21:50.660-08:002013-11-25T22:21:50.660-08:00I've always thought this place would make an a...I've always thought this place would make an awesome pub or brewery. http://tinyurl.com/meflyml<br /><br />Could be turned into a place like this...http://tinyurl.com/n5rqjpn<br /> leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-50843851298669460012013-11-25T20:10:38.676-08:002013-11-25T20:10:38.676-08:00Second!

It's great to see the breweries increasingly champion the contributions of the hopyards and work more closely with them. <br /><br />I keep thinking that NE Madison has the right blend of an industrial area bordering on a still-gridded neighborhood for a lively gathering place - <a href="http://breakfastonbikes.blogspot.com/2012/03/derby-girls-and-prospects-for.html" rel="nofollow">anchored perhaps by the Roller Derby</a>. Doesn't that seem like the right mix? How about Howard Hall or <a href="http://breakfastonbikes.blogspot.com/2013/07/aramark-laundry-salem-saturday-market-broadway-hoopla-sunday-streets-project-space.html" rel="nofollow">the laundry on Gaines and Broadway</a>. Anyway, as the beer scene continues to mature, hopefully it will grow into more hospitable locations and offer more family-friendly options.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-82393768718635185322013-11-24T19:14:49.187-08:002013-11-24T19:14:49.187-08:00One of the nicer rides I did last summer was out t...One of the nicer rides I did last summer was out to the Rogue hopyard in Independence.<br /><br />One of the more encouraging developments in Salem recently are the number of small breweries and tap houses that have sprung up. Many host regular food carts and seem like they could have potential to become lively gathering places. The more disappointing part about these places are that they are all located in garbage strip developments on stroads. They also don't serve food, and therefore, minors are not allowed so we can't go to any of them as a family. Portland doesn't seem to have these such hang ups. There are plenty of places where young families and singles can enjoy lively places together. Curtnoreply@blogger.com
