I hope this doesn't mean they increase the drink minimum during shows. It was already like $5 for a bottle of brew at their old location! Yeah I drove by it last weekend – pretty small ‘store front’.

I saw somewhere their rationale for why they moved there. It seemed pretty reasonable, but their lease rates there have to be a lot higher than Germantown, I hope they survive. The building they are is in the NW corner of Towne Centre, but it doesn't show up yet on the satellite maps it's that new.

I took my MCAT in one of those buildings! Thanks VK! On a similar note - Giggles Comedy Pub has moved into that hunk of land some where. Seems like an odd location, but I'd been to the old location in Germantown a few times and there are some decent comedy acts that come through. Interesting, thanks for the heads up.

Sendik's is owned by the Thompson Corp., VK's four buildings are next to that. Look on Google maps for 19435 W. Capitol Drive. Towne Center which houses Sendik's is to the East in the corner.

At one point she was on a march to elimnate all gas stations and car dealers from the city. When Soerens approached the city about a remodeling, they were told 'sure, if you build a berm around your business so that it can't be seen from VK's business park'.

I have often wondered why he thought that lot was a great location. If I had several million to spend on a 10,000 square foot house, that would NOT be my first choice in a location. “view of Soerens Ford”
