Development puts squeeze on Orleans House – – The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper
This isn’t some great gourmet find but Tom Sarris’s Orleans House has a 43-year history at it’s current location. It has a massive salad bar and serves the best Prime Rib for the money in this area. I came here often with my parents when they visited me. It has some of the most garish interiors but the food has always been good – the Prime Rib great.
What kills me is that they will erect another ugly high-rise building on this spot. Right, we really need another one of those.
Sigh.

I hope not since there is already one right across the street. Wait – they will put in a Seattle’s Best Coffee – also owned by Starbucks. Yikes!

I wonder what would have happened if they hadn’t given in. Hate to hear of stories where people are strongarmed out of businesses or homes. FIGHT BACK, I say!
