Sometimes we have to admit it. We're naive. Case in point: We can't figure out why some places in our neighborhood have a new business in place nearly the day another goes out of business, while other properties just kind of sit there. Forever. So it is with what seems to us to be a prime Seattle location at 1st Ave. and Wall Street, directly across from the El Gaucho and neighbor to the wonderful Marco's Supperclub. Since the closure of the At.31 Gallery, this corner slot has sat empty with little activity beyond the homeless guy sleeping in the front doorway and the sad hand-printed FOR LEASE sign in the window. What gives? Are the owners holding out for a too pricey lease? Do the snobs from unincorporated Snohomish county waddling into El Gaucho scare off prospective buyers? The logic doesn't jive -- how can somebody afford to sit on empty property? But, to be honest, we don't need to be delivered from our naivete. More important to us, letting this place sit idly denies our right to be 100% fully entertained at all hours of the day, every day for the rest of our lives. Please, please, please rectify this situation.
