I guess there is no question that the wind turbines will dominate Gloucester’s landscape. Here is a shot of the construction crane at the site taken from Long Wharf on the west side of the Annisquam and Jones Creek, 2.65 mile away according to Google Earth.

There’s been a lot of Comments on The post: https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/what-would-you-like-to-see-fill-the-space-vacated-by-five-guys/

When I first heard that 5guys were going there I didn’t think they had a chance. Burgers and fries and that’s it? They need a bigger choice of menu items. I feel bad for the guys who started that Franchise. They were really energized.

Of course most of these people commenting are wrong. Here are my Thoughts.
Japanese? we have Midori’s, Lat 43, the Madfish for raw fish.
Boston Market is on their way out.
I would love a KFC TACO BELL but they don’t have any drive thru options up there.
Indian food may work well in a downtown location but not at GC. WHAT THE HECK IS INDIAN FOOD ANYWAYS? They don’t eat meat, Right?
What the “F” is a Steak and Shake is that the Mad cow disease?
Starbucks? Overpriced burnt coffee.
Average Joe’s? Never been there so I can’t comment.
Bertuccis? We don’t need no stinkin’ fake Italian Restaurant here.
Never heard of Londi’s, Cosi’s and the other’s to comment on.

But most of you are wrong unless you agree with my list below

THERE’S PLENTY OF OPEN STORE FRONTS THERE BESIDES FIVE GUYS TO HAVE A TRADER JOE’S (WHICH I LOVE).
OR A BED BATH AND WHATEVER.

I’D LIKE TO SEE IN THIS ORDER AT THE 5GUYS STORE;
1. Qudoba
2. Panera Bread
3. KFC/TACO BELL

and of Course Fred ,Sista Felicia’s Restaurant would a be a great addition to The West End.
GC Is too mall like for the kind of food Felicia cooks. Her place needs charm to go with that food.
