Meanwhile, at the OTB Corner...

Today a worker at the former OTB site told me that the next business would be a Mexican restaurant.  I'm sceptical, having been told by earlier workers that it would be a supermarket/grocery store.  These may just be stock responses to nosey passers by.  If a Mexican restaurant sets up there, this will mean competition for Tacos Nuevo Mexico, two doors away.  Even though I preferred the earlier incarnation of Tacos Nuevo, when it was a more local joint, it's marketed itself to a wider clientele pretty successfully, and has been a stalwart presence on the block for a number of years.  I'd hate to see it threatened..  But this is not a very solid piece of information.  Tomorrow I may hear we're destined for a bank, a cupcake store, or 99c. pizza.
