Dear Friends of Walker's Cafe,

If you're out of the loop on what's been going on with Walker's Cafe, our op-ed in the latest Random Lengths News sums up the situation. You can read it here.

The current plan for the mega-mansion would fill most of the lot, totally overshadowing Walker’s. It would choke off the cafe’s vital space for storage, commercial deliveries, and the other crucial needs of a functioning business. In short: this huge development would mean the death of the cafe.

Meanwhile, interested cafe tenants have continued to be pushed away. Colin Fahrner of the viral pop-up Yellow Paper Burger showed serious interest but was denied even a walkthrough of the site. He ended up opening a brick-and-mortar in Eagle Rock instead.

Cramming the lot full makes Walker’s untenable. Please join the email campaign to ask for the vital compromise that will protect Walker's Cafe: a smaller house and official protections that guarantee the cafe reopening. 

Save the date: This coming Tuesday, June 2 after 4:30 pm, the Harbor Area Planning Commission will discuss the plans in a hybrid meeting, in-person in Wilmington and via Zoom. Stay tuned for details on how to attend!
