Click here to see Victory Park as it should be–shiny, happy people frolicking near downtown. It all looks super cool but I would hate to run into that huge dude playing the guitar in a dark alley.

Interesting how most of the photos in the shopping section of this web site are of the (very, very, very sadly) now defunct LFT.
I want Victory Park to make it, but it’s a chicken/egg thing: You have to have people living there to really get the businesses off the ground, and people don’t want to live there because nothing’s really off the ground. Also, future residents see that there is no grocery store, pharmacy, dry cleaners, and say, Why do I want to live downtown where things are supposed to be convenient if things are NOT convenient?
But since this is the SideDish blog, I have to say that Kenichi is delicious. Better than Nobu in NYC. Seriously.
