There are 3 gun stores in one mile on Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank

In light of recent current events, I'd like to point out: there are three gun stores on Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank between Buena Vista and Victory.  One is about 60 feet away from a children's daycare center.  In the same stretch of Magnolia, there are only two bars (both serve food), Tony's Darts Away and Tin Horn Flats.

BTW, on the morning after the Trevon Martin verdict, there was a line outside of one gun store at 10 a.m.  It was a Sunday.

I've blogged about this before.  What kind of businesses does Burbank really need? I know that it's tremendously difficult to open a restaurant or place like Luna Vine (wine bar) in Burbank. Was it difficult for the gun stores, too?  Shouldn't it be? And how many gun stores do we need in a one-mile stretch?

More "3's" in Burbank

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the three gun stores in Burbank on a one-mile stretch of Magnolia.

Today, I saw another "three" -- this time, it was three homeless people on one three-block stretch of Victory, right around 5 points. What has happened to our city's vaunted social services?

Burbank's Magnolia Blvd. now has three gun stores

How many gun stores does one Burbank street need? Lots, apparently. Magnolia Boulevard now has three gun stores within the mile between Victory and Buena Vista. Is there that much demand in that neighborhood? (I'd like to point out that there are only two bars in the same stretch of road. Probably a good thing, considered.) Is this what the Magnolia Park folks (the merchants association) had in mind? Is this what the city council had in mind? Is this the same city council that would not allow new restaurant establishments on the same stretch of road a few years back because patrons might park on surrounding residential streets? Um, priorities?
