I've lived Yorkville for a long time and take no relish denigrating it. But I've always been bothered by a falseness in the commercial realm. There are hundreds of hair salons with few customers and few staff. I've seen restaurants with NO staff or customers at any time. Many businesses are not going concerns. Consider that little mall inside the Yorkville, Cumberland, Bellair boundary (where the Coffee Mill was). It’s practically empty.
Many of the businesses are money laundering fronts, and have no intention of creating a vibrant and viable atmosphere. It greatly harms Yorkville Avenue.
I wonder how the city might find a way to shake these guys lose by auditing the businesses or something. It’s like a cancer and you can feel it.
