Wondering about the current fate of the
Parkside Bistro? Things still appear to be up in the air, but Kevin has provided the following update via the Parkside Facebook page. I hope they can work something out with the city because it would be an outrageous shame to lose the much loved Coeur d'Alene landmark due to the actions of The Man.
There is some confusion about what is going on with the bistro and some facts. 1. I own the building and all fixtures. 2. I have looked at buying the land and doing a land swap for another piece ..( a good example is the shell station on NW blvd ). 3. The city has doesn't have to buy the building or offer some compensation. Other situations cities have given some $ so that a business can be moved .. for example 1/3 it's value. 4. the idea that the city allow parkside to stay open for the summer is an easy proposition if the city wants to allow this. as long as the city doesn't jeopordize grant $. Which seems to be the case. 5. I and others believe that "they" just want it to go away because the whole thing stinks. 6. If this is not politics then parkside will be open this summer. 7. Please prepare to be at the council meeting tues. may 4th. 8. I appreciate all those that have supported the bistro and see how necessary this establishment is to the fabric of CDA
