To offer further evidence of our sophistication and refined tastes, we’ll follow our review of a restaurant we compared favorably to Chuck E. Cheese, with news about another local high-class eatery. The Capitol Hill Kidd Valley on 15th across from Safeway will soon be no more — sign in the window sez they’ve lost their lease. Not a terrible loss, to be sure, but we kind of liked having something simple and generally bad for your health in the hood. No word on what will replace the burger joint. We’d bet on corporate coffee (there’s only 2 SBUX within waddling distance of that corner) or mixed-use housing and retail space.

Welcome to the hood. I’ve often lurked on your Uptown site (and really enjoyed it) but now have a reason to post.
The kidd valley will be torn down and replaced with a big 4 stories of apartments of one story of retail kind o’ thing.
I will miss it, too.
Mixed use! Mixed use! Boo.
I’ll miss the seasoned drivers of Metro route 43 announcing “Group Health, Kidd Valley Rest-rent” at 15th and John.
works for me, their burgers are awful anyway.
