B&O Espresso building safe for now; public meeting on new building design March 4 - design - safe - public


Jane Lukatah figures she has a couple years before she's kicked out of the space where she opened B&O Espresso in 1976 at Belmont Avenue and Olive Way (Belmont & Olive = B&O). "Maybe two years, maybe more," she said.



When the Capitol Hill mecca for espresso and desserts -- German chocolate cake, sour cream lemon pie -- appeared set for demolition last year, Lukatah made plans to occupy the old Dilettante Chocolates shop on Broadway.

Then the demolition stalled, and B&O stayed put.

Two public meetings since spring 2006 have examined the design of the building set to replace B&O, which is far lovelier inside than out.
