I'll second the good Indian restaurant... Pho we can get by going south to Beacon or west to the ID. Indian is more of a schlep.

You need another store that sells lamp shades. Maybe call it Shady Lamp Jobs

True that!
Actually, I was thinking that "The Lamp Shade" would make for an excellent name for a dive-bar at this location. |

Retrofit on 12th does custom lamp shades w/all sorts of patterns and styles. I got an awesome one for my antique lamp. Not necessarily cheap - 50-80 bucks - but totally worth it.

Or maybe "The 10 dollar lamp shade." It can be a locals-only joke.

"The $10" would be another great bar name for this location . . .

Book Store
|
|
|
I've been wanting a book store closeby that maybe specializes in kids and kid's related books. That would be nice...
Also JUST FYI - I lived in Mad Valley and now live in Madrona and India Express delivers to BOTH! Not that an Indian Restaurant wouldn't be fantastic - but delivery is pretty fantastic. http://www.indiaexp.com/ and yes - Paint Job is totally necessary. Luckily I think Izilla functioned there so wonderfully for such a long time that the space won't be "tainted" for long. |

Speaking of Izilla, if you haven't been to their newer location on 12th...they have expanded out to include a large book section for infants and kids.

I didn't know that India Express delivers--definitely will try that. I didn't realize they were getting such decent reviews on Yelp, too:

Bar
|
|
|
It may not be popular with all who frequent this part of Mad Val, but I would love a McMenamin's-style pub for this location. Obvs. the building would need to be painted, but the home floor plan would fit with McMenamin's style at a lot of their small pubs in the Portland area, and on summer nights, outdoor seating in the front yard area would be great. We could really use a "cheap-and-cheerful" option along this street (for those of us who can't alternate Rovers-Harvest Vine-Voila-Chinoise every day of the week.)

RE: Bar

That'd be great. Part of the appeal of an Indian or Pho place also would be cheap eats. But, a McMenamin's pub would be great too--definitely with summer outdoor seating.
Realistically, that building is so small, I don't know that one could fit a decent kitchen in there. I know the kitchen is small at the Attic--maybe a pub kitchen would work. |

I think a bar would be great, too. The Hopvine up on 15th also puts out good food with a really small kitchen.
