I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you didn't click the link and read the article.
Caught red handed. I did click the second link to go to the burrito brothers site where they are collecting donations. They might get more if they posted the story as to why they need them. Or maybe it just isn't on the mobile site?

They're posting about the situation on their Facebook page. I'm sure eventually they'll have it on their page too. They just announced the virtual burritos earlier this afternoon. They're trying.

I'd say that's poor planning by the city to allow construction to cause that much of a disruption during what is be the busiest time of the year. Must be awfully frustrating for the owners.

Probably a myth but ... shouldn't they get some type of compensation from the city or the property management for the disruption?

Virtual burritos, huh? Ox running that place now?

I'd probably buy a Tshirt, even an over-priced one, to support their cause, but they don't seem to have any. :doh:

Earlier this week they posted a request on their Facebook page asking people to write the city officials bc they haven't gotten very far with the city thus far. Gainesville city politics absolutely blow.

Sounds to me like they need to look into a lawyer. No reason a city should be able to run an otherwise profitable business, out of business.

Did you actually try to use the pull-down menu and order one?

Someone also set up a GoFundMe page for them. Over $5K raised in 2 days so far.

Gainesville sux for small business. traffic is horrible, parking is worse (if possible). they try to force everyone into "earth-friendly" public transportation, which is anything but. I mean come on, where can you actually park in town to utilize the public transportation that's not constantly monitored by the predatory ROAM towing companies? Gainesville is pretty much a crap hole that I'm happy not constantly traveling to.

As far as BB goes, I've always heard that it was a great place, but have never had, mainly due to the difficult area to park at or near, and i've not really ever had any reason to do business in that part of town.

I wish them much success, but believe Gainesville will claim another small business in the name of progress.

you wanna talk about cramming a square peg in a round hole, look no further than Gainesville's economic plan.

Sorry, I don't send money for virtual burritos.

I guess it's too much to ask for them to send me SOMETHING for my money. I would pay a high premium but I sure as shyt will not just send money to a business.
