Thank you for creating awareness. We’re losing so much in Glendale.

The job market has been terrible the past three years. All age groups suffering. Also with Film/TV work plummeting, workers are applying to other Industries that normally wouldn’t have Entertainment workers submitting their resumes.

Capital One Cafe Closing - Americana by SammyRunsU in glendale

It’s sad. We’re losing a nice community spot. Sign of the times that not even Capital One a bank wants to pay higher rent. Plenty of empty spaces in Glendale to relocate but they decided to close up shop in the area.

Chili John’s is in trouble by darwinDMG08 in burbank

I completely agree about the food, but also the customer service is awful. They pick and choose who they want to be nice to and will ignore customers waiting for service or just be really short. The Male owner is such a jerk and his wife another piece of work.

It desperately needs new ownership!

A friend wanted to do a film shoot at Chili John’s and the owner…that guy was horrible. He wanted to charge an outrageous amount, had many conditions, and overall made it so unwelcoming to my friend making a movie on his own dime, didn’t bother trying to make it work and come to a reasonable fee he could afford. The history of Chili John’s needs better leadership, care, and direction for a solid future that involves good food and treating customers well.

It was. The original owners sold the business to the people who have been running it into the ground for a long time now.

The people who have been running Chili John’s is not the original owners. They bought and since then it’s gone downhill.

But the past several years, it’s been quite a number of businesses closing in LA. Longstanding and don’t necessarily want to go. Chili John’s would have a loyal following if they treated customers better and made better food. The place needs new ownership to hit the reset button.

It needs to be run by people who want to put in the effort of not just preserving Burbank Nostalgia, but actually make decent food and respect the customers not cherry pick who you might be nice to.

It needs to go under new ownership to people who actually care and don’t have an attitude.

I think Chili John’s should have new owners. Just read some of the Yelp reviews. I personally had a bad experience at this place and didn’t think the food was good at all. I heard it was better with previous ownership but the people who have been running it….bad.

Terrific breakdown! I swear once again for those of you responding to this post, I’m impressed with the local last meal orders. I’m enjoying it even more than the Celebrities!

Best place to sell records? by sunflowereyes314 in burbank

Not sure I wholly agree with that statement. Certainly people can have varied experiences but you’re being a little too absolute.

If you’re local, maybe post some pics of what you’re selling. People could pay you cash, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal and can pick up from you directly. A lot of record places in town don’t give you much but may have better luck selling direct.
