An unpleasant restaurant experience I had recently was eating at the 85 St Mercato. I mean the food was fine (if overpriced), but the space has all the ambiance of a hotel lobby or an airport Chili's. Really makes me appreciate when a restaurant gets it right.
I think what originally made it what it was is:
* Mac's and McDonald's
* Sketchy Century Gardens (back when it had a ton more concrete and blind corners)
* The old C-train platform next to Mac's
* The 8th & 8th health clinic, which was kind of the Chumir of its day
* Cheap bars like Baby Blue's...
This project covers the western half of that block. I did shop at that Co-op when I lived in Inglewood around 99-00, but I can't remember where exactly it was.
But as you can see, it's not the part of the block across the street from Sunterra/Keynote.
DP2025-06096 is now public. Or, at least the plans are. It doesn't seem to be on the map yet, and it's missing some details like the height, number of units, and correct zoning.
