Restaurants and bars keep coming into LoHi — but what does the neighborhood really need? Parking, for sure, says Philo99: “It’s a great place to party but has become a terrible place to live.”
But does it really need a fast-casual spot, as one reader suggests?

For those complaining about not being able to walk to a restaurant in order to get a bowl or tortilla full of rice: some might say that you could walk your butt into your kitchen, put some water and rice in a pot, turn a knob on your stove and shortly have a bowl of rice you could then smother in salsa, soy sauce, or what have you. I suppose that would require you to find a new source of righteous indignation, however. Too much effort – unless there’s a locally owned business selling righteous indignation within walking distance.
For more discussion of LoHi, fast-casual joints and the fact that you can get take-out from just about any restaurant, see the conversation already under way here.
