Both the diner building as well as the brown house next to it are owned by the same absentee landlord. Despite a push from the city in past years to improve the property very little has been done. There have also been notices sent to the owner regarding zoning violations on the property.

On summer weekends patrons of this business park all over the neighborhood and sometimes block access to other properties. There is not sufficient parking on that lot, especially for vehicles towing trailers.

Numerous posts on this site over several years have repeatedly pointed out that the area needs improvement and change. This property is certainly one that could use improvement.

The city is spending 1.6 million dollars on the Weirs improvement project to upgrade the area. Other properties in the neighborhood have been improved with substantial and ongoing expenditures by the owners. This property could use the same treatment. It's current appearance, from both sides, does nothing to support the ongoing efforts to improve the overall appearance of the Weirs Beach area.

Still nothing to do with the new diner that is moving in ?.
