Yes, Yes. I agree with you HeyMeg. I meant closed as in not open for business, not all gone. You are all right ok? Sheesh.

I think I can settle the timing dispute. I parked my car at Albertson’s yesterday to get Starbucks and do the light rail. Demo crews were hacking at the roof of the gas station. At 4 when I returned for my car the building was gone! It was rad. I’m really curious about what will go there - and hoping that if it must be a fast-food chain it will be a Koo Koo Roo. Immigrants from Southern CA you know what I’m talking about.

You want to be really ridiculed? Come down to the Italian Deli on J Street. It is hysterical.

the more important issue here is the sandwich ridiculing. i’m glad i’m not the only one.

The fence went up a few weeks ago, not a few days ago. The actual gas station closed a long time ago. That’s all I’m saying.

i guess with trader joes in east sac, complaining about parking anywhere else is silly.

I think Plumwin meant “a few days ago” cause I saw them out there Monday (I think). I figured something was going to happen soon when they put the fence up around the lot.

@dmz
Wait for parking!?! There is a *ton* of parking around the sides of the store. Ya you might have to walk a bit from your car, but Corti Bros isn’t anything like Safeway in midtown.

I’d like to see a new business go in because that is a good spot. Hopefully they won’t put some lame-ass fast food chain (or sushi joint) in to replace the shell.

dmz, they only tore this down a few weeks ago but the actual gas station has been closed for at least a year. It has been used as overflow parking for Cortis for some time but it looks like you might have missed the boat. Sorry!

PS — I’ve been ridiculed on the sandwich ordering as well.
