Let me guess... white hipster enrolled in a first year Racial Sensitivity and Gentrification course at PCC, moved here 5 years ago before all the yuppies ruined nopo, you have one dog and two cats (all rescues), you like apples (organic), your name starts with a 'T' and your favorite color is blue-green. Nailed it!
I thought that U-Licious was just moving across the street. At least that's what I heard.
Besides, it's not like Podnah's moved in and BAM, no more U-Licious. Both have co-existed for a couple years. Guess which restaurant you'd take your inexplicably-still-not-divorced parents to when they visit? (hint: not the one in the trailer)
I mean, fuck Podnah's and everything, sure. But if you really want to fault someone for the gentrification of 15th & Killingsworth, blame Obama. He put a 2008 campaign headquarters in what is now the current-day 7-11. That was the first "new" thing to happen on that block in a long fucking time.
Used to be that I'd drive visitors home from the airport and they'd see black men hanging around One-Stop Records or Texas T's or the barber shop and say "Where the fuck are we?" Guess it took a black president to make everything so, so much whiter.
So now gentrification is to blame for a BBQ joint failing?
Personally, I go to eat where the food tastes good. Black or white or purple or plaid.
I think even those white people you are accusing of gentrification feel the same.
You are blaming the wrong people.
This was Ulicious' third home, you know. I figure the guy knows how to reinvent himself.
(The meat there is always great, but the sides suffered, in my h.o.)
There. Fixed. Vote me down hipsters.....
