Fongsway you and I think alike. I actually talked to the owner of Raku a few years ago and tried to convince him to look at Clarendon to open another Raku location. His name is Marcel, from what I recall.. I think I had him interested but obviously nothing resulted. We need a good Asian fusion place….

I would love to open a business in Arlington, but from the way it sounds, many of the businesses located in Arlington are not privately owned…. I wonder why. When we were shopping for space for our business, we couldn’t find anything that was affordable. If the rents were more manageable, perhaps there would be more privately owned businesses located in Arlington.

I’d love more retail.. like Bethesda Row. Real privately owned type shops , not chain stores, not chain food places .. If they can pull it off there, why not here? Bethesda has Wear it Well, Urban Country, Amethyst, and Pirjo – and Raku. I’d love Japanese or noodle shop food. Too much Mexican and pub stuff already.

I may have to agree with Steve for once. There are only four other Mexican restaurants within one block. I just hope that it is Chipotle.

I hope a Starbucks goes in there, because, you know, the other one is waaaay down the block

They had no inventory–good employees or not. For-basically a card store–they had the worst selection of cards I’ve ever seen. They had empty shelves…and this was for years. I live a few blocks away and I would run in after the gym once in awhile to pick out a special card for a relative’s bday, etc. but the selection sucked. I had better luck at Rite Aid after awhile.

It will become a Crossfit and there will be all kinds of brahs and brahettes pushing giant tires down the sidewalk out front. It’s going to be totally sick brah.
