No Ethiopian Cafe After All

I spoke this afternoon with the lady who bought the former store front church at the eponymous Corner. She told me she had abandoned her idea about opening up an Ethiopian cafe there, because it would be too hard to get the necessary zoning change.

Instead, she's renovating the building with four apartments, one of which she plans to live in. The construction is about half completed at this point.

I feel a little disappointed because it might have been nice to have a place to sit, drink coffee, and get a bite to eat that was so close. However, she and her family are good people, and it should be great to have them on the block.
