It has been taken over by chain stores who mainly serve fast food, not of the best quality, or taste.

Other restaurants in the area provide this service, but none of them are located on the Mall district of 9W. I personally prefer to eat out of that area. The local economy probably makes out fine with the fast food places that go in and out of the 9W area. However it doesnt do anything to help the local economy. 9 hrs · Like · 2 Frank Burke Yes there is a gap in prices and time and still people will complain. I eat all spectrums from 250 dollars a plate down to McDonalds. We as consumers are driving what we see.

Well they did till the citiots that moved across the street called the cops on me for having them, and then poisoned all my hens when the cops told em thought shit if ya do t like chickens. You moved here last and there is no ordinance in the town that says I cant have them. 9 hrs · Edited · Like Faith Lifer Haha thats funny! Red lobster closing and IHOP taking its place? They arent going to get diddly squat for business... The last time IHOP was open in the same spot yrs ago they got shut down for not passing cleanliness inspection and the place was swarmed with flies flying all over peoples food. I remember it when I went there with my mom and grandmother. So sad 9 hrs · Like William Marchetti Why the hell did all you people eat there? 9 hrs · Like Frank Marquette As long their employees can secure jobs in locally owned restaurants I would love to see all of the chain restaurants on Ulster Avenue bulldozed.

Taxes continue to rise, more roads have been added, more lanes of traffic, and the number of car accidents has increased. There is more pollution, etc. It destroyed a lot of the businesses that used to be located in Kingston. We lost some lovely homes, and farmland. I am sure that someone is profiting from the influx of growth, but it is not the average person. I miss the old two lanes of traffic from years ago.
