Massive pet peeve is when neighbor groups hear about what business is coming into their neighborhood and they complain (“oh i wish it was a vegan cat walking & sushi place!”). Like man, go open your own restaurant if you care much. - ThreadSky

When the BW3 went in on Snelling a million years ago the neighborhood page was all ladies complaining it wasn’t a yarn store. A YARN STORE, ON SNELLING NEXT TO THE LIQUOR STORE AND GAS STATION. 😂😂😂

WE HAVE TREADLE YARD GOODS!

kbaxterk.bsky.social•36 days ago

And the Yarnery!

danademaster.bsky.social•36 days ago

And to be fair to the ladies, there was an excellent yarn shop for decades on Hamline and Thomas where Groundswell is now. And, for years after they closed there weren't any yarn shops in St Paul.

flanknits.bsky.social•36 days ago

The Yarnery was around for all those years! On Grand, then Selby, and now on St Clair. (There was an ownership transition in there too!)

TREADLE YARD GOODS DOES NOT HAVE YARN

tombasgen.bsky.social•36 days ago

I’ve been owned.

A TREADLE IS THE FOOT PEDAL ON A LOOM THAT MAKES FABRIC.

That was the same thing when Rainbow closed on Minnehaha and Lake. "It should be a Yarn and knitting store!!" In the old warehouse sized grocery store?! Do you really think that's viable?

scoopsstp.bsky.social•36 days ago

What I am hearing is that the Twin Cities is a primarily yarn based economy

wesburdine.bsky.social•36 days ago

a yarn store on every corner

wesburdine.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ok, Diane, go to the bank, take out a loan and open it yourself

bedirthan.dice.camp.ap.brid.gy•37 days ago

@wesburdine.bsky.social I wish it was a soccer bar by day and drag queens by night

atkinscolm.bsky.social•37 days ago

drag queens during the day, livestock auction at night.

billchilds.bsky.social•37 days ago

I do need someone to walk my vegan cat though Wes

I gather that commercial property investors can often be the same way, which seems more understandable until you ask yourself, "Is it, though?"

dragseth.bsky.social•36 days ago

Or, "why don't they put a [hyper-niche whatever store] in the location where 5 much more rational ideas have failed?"

The average local Facebook griper seems to think that, like, the city tells people what restaurants to build?

sithlet.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is coffee shops in my neighborhood. And then a dickbag failed to open one a few blocks from us. 🤷

sithlet.bsky.social•37 days ago

(The failure to open the coffee shop is not why he’s a dickbag)

scoopsstp.bsky.social•37 days ago

With a greeting like that? Who could blame him?

sithlet.bsky.social•37 days ago

Oh, people were very excited. And then it took forever. And then stuff came out about him.

scoopsstp.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ah, I see I see

scoopsstp.bsky.social•37 days ago

Me and three hundred of my neighbors with pitchforks, chasing our local mom and or pop into the kitchen "we're not leaving 'til you cook us something that sates our collective palette"

scoopsstp.bsky.social•37 days ago

Walking into my bank with my business plan and it says "you give me an enormous loan and then I go on Facebook and ask what my neighbors want me to do with it"

pinko-machinist.bsky.social•37 days ago

What a very weird thing to post

wesburdine.bsky.social•37 days ago

Legit i just got mad seeing this, fuck that person. Also, this isn’t a chain. From what i can ten there’s only one other place!

jserf.bsky.social•37 days ago

A year later, Vegan Sushi Cat has announced it’s closing in a month. “Oh man, what a shame. I guess I should have gone there more than that one time their opening week “

tombasgen.bsky.social•37 days ago

“It’s soulless!” I type, 40 seconds after penning a 2 page ode to the Midway McDonalds on OLD SAINT PAUL.

robertherbert.bsky.social•36 days ago

So the cats are vegan and the sushi place is for the owners? Asking for a friend.

natepentz.bsky.social•37 days ago

That place does sound awesome

chrissteller.bsky.social•37 days ago

I'd like it if your pet peeve was less massive, and had more parking.
