Positive Developments in Melville

A few positive developments happening in Melville

The old Oh Bar on the corner of 4th Avenue and Main Road is presently undergoing renovations with new tenants. Due to the work in progress the drug dealers who used to sit outside Oh Bar have now moved off during the day, making the corner cleaner and people are now able to walk up the road without being harassed by these individuals.

Since the closure of Berlin, the owners of the Loft Restaurant have taken over the shop and are going to expand the Loft.

Sakura Sushi have moved to the corner of 7th Street and 3rd Avenue, having taken over the old Paros Restaurant premises. They have done a fantastic job in renovating the restaurant and bringing life back to that corner.

Six Cocktail Bar has taken over the premises vacated by Sakura Sushi and are presently expanding Six.

The positive side of these developments, is that no new tenants will be moving into premises vacated, and the business owners who are expanding their businesses are further investing in 7th Street for the upliftment of the Street. Their financial investment and quick thinking, to prevent unknown individuals from renting premises in 7th Street, thereby stonewalling any attempts at new bars opening, is an indication of their desire to clean up the area. These business owners should be supported by locals for their initiative and confidence, that Melville will become, the place to be entertained, and that Melville has a future for reputable and caring business owners.
