Poppi's to clear
way for hospital
parking structure
By Jolayne Houtz
Of Ik* b*n!i
The owners of Poppi’s restaurant, one of the last com
mercial businesses left on the block near Sacred Heart
General Hospital, are looking for a place to relocate the
restaurant before the expiration of its lease in five months.
Owners of the Greek restaurant at 675 E. 13th Ave. have
been looking for property for about a year, and at one time
even considered moving the entire building in which Poppi's
is now located to a new site, said George Schaefer, one of the
restaurant's managers.
Sacred Heart owns a majority of the property between
11th and 13th avenues and Hilyard and Patterson streets. The
hospital may start construction on an underground parking
structure on the site where Poppi's is now located when its
lease expires March 31,1987. said Alan Yordy. the hospital's
community relations director.
The hospital also owns the property formerly occupied
by the Peking Mandarin restaurant, 1280 Hilyard St. The
building was leased to The Rib Cage restaurant this fall, but
the restaurant apparently is closed now. Attempts to reach
owners of either Peking Mandarin or The Rib Cage were
unsuccessful.
The Rib Cage was given notice by the hospital to vacate
the building by late December. Yordy said.
Although business owners in the area have known about
Sacred Heart’s expansion plans for a long time. Schaefer said
the move won't be any easier.
“We’ve known for a long time that the bulldozers would
be moving through here and flattening the rest of the block."
Schaefer said. “If we find the right place, it would be kind of
foolish to wait until the lease expires in March.”
Restaurant owners are looking for a location close to the
University, but Schaefer said Poppi’s may be moved away
from campus if a suitable site is found.
With Poppi’s gone, the neighborhood will have gone one
step further in its evolution from a people-oriented
neighborhood to one in which automobiles are the primary
focus. Schaefer said.
Although Sacred Heart officials “are not totally
unresponsive” to Poppi's dilemma and offered to help the
restaurant find a place to relocate, Schaefer said he believes
the hospital "would prefer that we just left quietly.
“There's a faithful core of Poppi's people that is really
upset.” he said. “A lot of people make their livelihoods here.
Now you don't know from one day to the next where the
future lies.”

Savage, she works with them to
find a design that means
something to them. Then she
draws a sketch directly on the
customer if the design is large
or puts the design on a stencil if
the work is smaller. "I want
them to come up and say '1 want
this.' Most people have an idea
of what they want," she said.
Tattoos can take hours if they
cover a large area (anything
over seven inches across is con
sidered large). Savage usually
won't work more than three or
four hours. “Usually I'll do the
black and outlines first and then
do the colors.”
The work costs between $50
and $100 per hour. "I always

Shuttle may help parking dilemma
By JolayiM Houtz
Of Um Emerald
A proposed shuttle service
between Autzen Stadium and
the campus area may ease the
University parking crunch if
Sacred Heart and University of
ficials agree to the idea.
The shuttle would take
University students and faculty
and Sacred Heart employees to
and from the campus area while
both the University and the
hospital have construction
underway, said Dan Williams,
vice president for
administration.
Sacred Heart ia in the process
of constructing a laboratory on
11th Avenue and may begin
work soon on other projects.
The University's construction
plans include the renovation of
Hayward Field and the con
struction of a new science
complex.
Officials at both institutions
are "agreed in principle" to the
shuttle, which may be working
by spring. Williams said.
About one-third of University
employees live north of the
Ferry Street Bridge, so poten
tially the Autzen shuttle could
significantly increase the
availability of campus parking
spaces, he said. If the shuttle is
implemented, officials will be
evaluating it to see if the shuttle
will work as a long-term park
ing solution, he added.
The University also is work
ing on other parking alter
natives. he said.
The city currently is review
ing a University plan to con
struct a parking lot with 150
spaces by the Silva Orchard
next to the Coca-Cola Bottling
Co.. 1565 Franklin Blvd.,
Williams said.
In addition, the University
now has about 60 additional
parking spaces in the Bean
parking lot. and about 30 extra
parking spots around Condon
Hall.
Williams said Sacred Heart
officials are planning to build a
parking structure on the lot
where Poppi'a restaurant now is
located, and the University may
rent spaces in that structure
from Sacred Heart for a couple
years until the hospital needs
all of them.
But hospital officials still are
working on their master site
plan, a sketch of expansion
plans for the area between 11th
and 13th avenues, and Hilyard
and Alder streets, and plans for
the area still are up in the air.
The master plan was schedul
ed to be completed sometime
this month, but because of com
plications. it will be held up in
definitely. said Alan Yordy,
Sacred Heart's community rela
tions director.
“We want to make sure we
don't misstep along the way."
Yordy said.
