I’m not so crazy about this new business coming.

I wandered by the atrocious Jazz Kitchen the other day... there's no denying it, it's bad.

Regarding the religious folks in DTD, Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins, 447 U.S. 74 (1980) basically held that under the California Constitution, individuals may peacefully exercise their right to free speech in parts of private shopping centers regularly held open to the public, so long as they aren't disruptive.

This was narrowed by Ralphs Grocery Co. v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 8, 55 Cal. 4th 1083 (2012), to those with areas analogous to public gathering areas such as plazas, atriums, or food courts.

My take is Disney doesn't interfere with these folks as long as they do not try to encourage people over to their displays. I've been past these tables dozens of times and not once have I ever been called to or solicited. They seem to just sit there and only engage with people who voluntarily approach them.

This makes sense, and I honestly like it, especially seeing as how more and more public space is being privatized.

And yeah as someone who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, they’re trained not to approach people when doing cart or table preaching. They’ll only talk to you if you initiate it

Sounds sort of like a food co-op / market hall:

I assume this is going into ESPNZone or Rainforest Cafe?

Also sounds like they'll be opening the guitar pick stage area this year.

Stumbled across some interesting contracting documents filed recently for an Earl of Sandwich. Here's the project description:

I'm very curious about where it could go if it's a new building entirely.

There is a two storyish building going up to the east of Din Tai Fung building, theory predicts it could be going there.

Goodbye old stage.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

Goodbye old stage.

I saw some great shows there...

But I'm looking forward to more on the new stage.

Goodbye old stage.

Finally. What an eyesore it had been in the last few years.
