[Buddy Holly]

Had it once when I was in Vegas visiting my cousin. It's good, however I think I prefer Smoothie King.

[T Park]

Panera Bread = St. Louis Bread Company

[Extra Stout]

For a metropolitan area of nearly 2 million people to be busting a nut over getting nationwide retail outlets is kind of pathetic tho.

[Kermit]

it could be an upscale taco cabana...

Panera Bread = St. Louis Bread Company

don't know the st louis bread company either.

[Extra Stout]

Aren't you from somewhere around there? If not, why do you root for the Cardinals?

[T Park]

My family is from a small town outside of St Louis.

My grandfather was a Cardinals fan when Musial was there, and my father, and so on.

Dallas is a metro of 5 mllion and for it to bust a nut over its first Central Market (SA based) is king of pathetic.

And who's busting a nut in this thread?

[jman3000]

is that mixed use residential/retail?

[Buddy Holly]

Yes, mixed use with retail/res/office.

Is it in the long wedge area between east of Basse Rd and west of the quarry pit golf course?

I hope they make it like a European walking street where no cars are allowed. A villiage for pedestrians only.

[Buddy Holly]

Yes, that's it.

No, no. Central Market is the best specialty market chain in America. Panera Bread is just another sandwich and bagel shop.

A chain is a chain and to have a reaction as the Dallas area had over Central Market... well, it made all the Krispy Kreme freaks who camp out at every single opening for every single franchise look... sane.

But again, who's busting a nut in this thread over Panera Bread?

The figures in this drawing are too thin to be San Antonians.

You have to understand that Dallas folks want very badly to be sophisticated. When Central Market shows up with its wine racks, olive bar, and 18 varieties of fennel, Dallasites think maybe they're starting to become a world-class city.

Please don't remind them that Central Market is a San Antonio-owned concern, and not a Barcelona-owned one; it will shatter the illusion for them.

And while you, Buddy, our faithful, gentle, autistic savant of all things urban development, may merely be providing a service of information to us, I also know that San Antonians, despite having long since "arrived," still view the influx of relatively ordinary retail businesses as some kind of validation.

Once again, ES delivers a flawless post.
