Description
This place is an eyesore. Wood piled up all over the parking lot, with garbage mixed in and spilling into the street. This has to be a haven for infestation of rodents. They have a fenced in lot behind them, but never use it. A disgusting corner for years, and a hazard for pedestrians.

I have spoken to the owners at Brick Oven, they were informed that it is not only an eyesore but a fire hazard and pledged to move the wood.

I just want to weigh in here on behalf of Kahdir and Brick Oven. Personally I think the presence of a wood burning oven in our neighborhood is a welcome break from the massive grease fryers of Alpha Delta, Main Garden and Elm bar. The smell of woodsmoke is infinitely preferable to sticky grease.
Brick Oven does the best they can with the space they have. Their dumpster is always neatly up against the building. You have to understand that residents around here litter like mad. It can be hard to keep up with the flood of alcohol bottles and fast food trash that gets thrown around.
Wood is beautiful! Big piles of wood are cool and they do not combust spontaneously, especially not the heavy logs they keep.
I must say, compared to its surroundings, it is quite unfair to pick on Brick Oven.

I love Brick Oven. The food is always great, the service too, and it's a wonderful place to meet all kinds of people, in fact one of the few places on Howe I ever see families eating together. Surely if the youth baseball league kids were on this website they'd be in a huff!
To focus on Brick Oven seems ridiculous, especially since the real eyesore (and nose-sore) is Main Garden, next to which I had the great displeasure of living and breathing. Nothing like the smell of grease seeping in through your walls.
I always make a point of recommending Brick Oven to friends, family, and visitors--how many restaurants grow their own basil and other herbs? The whole point of slow-burning logs is that they have to be in an oven... not apt to spontaneously combust.
Which is all to say that the very fact that this conversation is happening is absurd. The REAL problems on that block are the cops that use their "power" to try and pick up women, the young women constantly harassed on Howe St., the wave of thefts all along Howe and Dwight Streets, and the barely visible bus stop on the corner of Howe and Elm.
