Dick's closed for construction

Look, no line!

For projects like the light rail station construction, we get mailings and outreach sessions and copious Web project updates -- yet when a construction project of real significance comes along, what kind of warning do we get? A sign on a chain link fence stating Dick's on Broadway is closed for "extensive plumbing repairs."

You'll have to find a burger alternative until they re-open on Thursday. With Jack in the Box out of commission until they finish whatever kind of work they need to do to convert a KFC to a JIB, good luck.

wah
i walked by there and was hoping that it was being torn down for generic condos or a parking lot or whatever. the last thing we need on capitol hill is cheap beef and car traffic. what a waste of space!

Last night my friends and I decided that the worst possible camping site would be behind Dick's on Broadway. Now it's Dick's on Broadway in need of plumbing repairs. Yum!

RE: #1
yeah, the 'extensive plumbing repairs' and Dick's are pretty much a Rodney Dangerfield joke waiting to happen. Except he's dead. And didn't hang out in Seattle.

Nope
No Jack in the Box. The deal fell through a while ago, but apparently the word hasn't gotten around to the local blogs yet, who keep repeating it.

RE: Nope
Yeah, saw Dan Savage's proposal for Pony 2.0. So, I'm curious, where did you find out the deal fell through? We local blogs want to know.
