What Should Go Here?: Blackies Former Site

It's been a couple years since Blackies Burgers and Chicken closed on Tennent Avenue near downtown Pinole.

People in town still talk about the delicious albeit high-calorie meals you could get at this luncheon shack.

There currently are no plans for any new development on the site. Mayor Debbie Long says the property was part of the city's redevelopment area, but those type of projects are in limbo due to the state's dismantling of those agencies.

So, while we wait, let's see what the people of Pinole and Hercules think.

What would you like to see built on the former site of Blackies restaurant? Tell us what and why in the comments.

If you have any fond memories of visits to Blackies, let us know about that, too.
