You have to hand it to JJ's restaurant

Really, you have to hand it to the JJ's restaurant staff and management. I've written a little about this before but really, with the West Edge project first going up and the intitial blasting and then construction--which took months--and then the building sitting idle, right in front of them for two years, and now the tear down, they've been able to more than just survive, all this time. The picture above shows the West Edge building as of today. They put this on their Facebook page with the note that "Noticeable progress across the street over the weekend! These two sections were the same height on Friday." You have to hand it to these people. Clearly, these people make their food, service and atmosphere what they need to be. There have been many times when the street in front of the restaurant was blocked either completely or partially, time and again, over all these years--and it's been at least 6 years (I'm being conservative here) that they've had to put up with this mess.

So JJ's restaurant, I salute you. You obviously have what it takes to make it and it has taken a great deal of good, hard work, good food, good service and a lot of effort to make it while around you was a big mess. Lesser people and a lesser restaurant just wouldn't have made it, for sure. So readers, next time you want a good meal in a beautiful setting, you might keep JJ's in mind, if you don't already. Clearly a lot of people believe in this restaurant, their food and their people.
