Being a stone’s throw from $550m. worth of light rail line did not save McIntosh’s Steaks & Seafood. It is kaput after 13 years in business at the corner of South and East Blvds.

Now, is it remotely reasonable to infer the closing has much of anything to do with the choo-choo? No. Which illustrates the point that crediting business success with proximity to the line is similarly delusional and simplistic.

Yet everyday you work to pay the salaries of city employees who do that very thing. Yum!
