Rick’s Steaks and other notes
I’ve gotten several emails in recent days, asking me why I haven’t written anything about the Rick’s Steak issue that’s been the talk of the Market recently. I’ve intentionally stayed away from that issue because I haven’t felt like it fit within the framework of the project I’ve set up for myself. I want to capture what makes the Market great, not focus on the fighting and dischord. I realize that in some senses this struggle is a vital part of the story of the space, but I feel like I need to give it time to settle before I write about it.
In other news, those of you who check on this blog are aware that I’ve haven’t been posting a whole lot lately, despite the appearance on 6abc news recently promoting this project. A couple of weeks ago I got a blogging gig that actually pays me to post, which has been a blessing and a frustration. While it’s fun to make money blogging, it also has a way of zapping the energy I have for other writing projects. However, there are still great stories out there, and I hope to find some more time to tell them. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I find the correct balance.

blogging for money- hey- go for it!
it is good to be able afford to eat.
Don’t feel bad about getting paid! It also shows- you are worth it!
keep going!
I figured that the Rick’s struggle was more political than you had intended for this work. It has been and continues to be an interesting story, though.
To me, Rick’s is one of the things that makes the Market a “family” sort of place, and the introduction of a name franchise from the outside is the antithesis of what the Market is all about. I think.
