Santa Fe Loading Dock Project Submitted
Bushala Brothers, Inc. has submitted an Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to Fullerton’s Planning Department for the development of a restaurant on the unused Santa Fe Depot loading dock.
The loading dock has been empty for decades. It was the object of an earlier City history of property acquisition. The western half the space was leased to BBI in the early 1990s, when the eastern portion was not yet owned by the Fullerton Redevelopment Agency. After the City acquired the portion east of Pomona Avenue, they declined to consolidate the lease of the entire loading dock until the past few years under City Manager Eric Levitt.
Friends will recall that the revised depot lease that now included the loading dock adjacent to the Bushala leasehold was the subject of a cooked-up controversy last summer by “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra and the Kennedy Sisters of the Fullerton Observer, a “controversy” brushed aside by the council majority who recognized the potential for this unused structure.
So the loading dock is on its way to becoming a new downtown Fullerton venue that will enliven the depot area within the Transportation Center.
After review by City staff the application will ultimately be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval.
Zahra, Charles, the two Kennedy sisters, and a chimp named Elijah sure tried to fuck up that deal with their phony issues.
They swung and they missed. Charles is going to regret that.
I could have a Kabob & cocktail right now.
How long do I gotta wait ?
I might not be here much longer.
I hope they’re closing in. That would be one deportation I could get behind.
Love this idea. Something like this can really clean that area up, because it’s pretty scary.
Those biased sister who run that one-sided, joke of a rag will hate it…as they do with anything new and cool. Just try and leave a comment disagreeing with their liberal rhetoric, gets deleted every time. That why we love 4F!
Number of commercial leases negotiated and signed by Zahra, Charles, the Kennedy Sisters and the tender young bud Elijah: 0.
Very nice looking. A real addition to the downtown scene – no nightclubbing barfing or booze addled fights.
Just homeless bum fights.
Well, that’s Zahra’s district, right?
I’ll frequent it, and look forward to doing so.
bootlicking loser
Rather be that than what you are.
looks like another Downtown Fullerton shithole.
This has got to be a joke. “Tony B.’s Loading Dock” What a name – woof! This rich idiot who spends his days drinking Johnnie Walker and blogging is going to run a restaurant and bar? Good luck… a fool and his money are soon parted.
Haha, Your just jealous ‘cuz you’re not going to be allowed in.
Soon parted? Tony’s gonna get $200,000,000, right Elijah?
great looks like [ ] tony gets another thing in fullerton
Comment from City Hall IP address modified to delete defamatory comment.
I strongly recommend submitting a Public Records Act (PRA) request to the City for all staff communications sent from any city-owned computer or city-issued cell phone to this blog at 12:57 PM on January 23, 2026. It would be enlightening to identify the individual at City Hall who, despite being on the taxpayer’s clock (or their lunch hour), has the time and audacity to be so vile and driven by jealousy toward this tony guy. Uncovering who this person is at city hall would certainly be an interesting exercise in transparency.
It was Zahra.
Where will the increasing number of homeless folk who call The Depot home get high, urinate, and sleep? Maybe a better name for the restaurant would be Tony B’s Halfway House: Meth and Mezcal
Word on the street is that Elijah is submitting a competing plan to open a Drag Show themed Hookah Lounge. He will be the main act; his stage name will be Miss Informed or Auntie Intellectual.
or Snarl Marx
Elijah will call it “The Velvet Hose,” and his first headliner will be Ivana B. Inhieroffice, aka Connor Traut.
We need to get rid of the methadone clinic !!!
WTHeck ?
Draws in, and enables- while taxpayers pick up the tab.
Disgusting
Tony’s over here trying to be Mario Maurovic. Who wants to bet this laughable concept doesn’t make it past this lame rendering? This isn’t San Clemente, Tony, and you have no idea what you’re doing.
I want my sidewalk back, asshole.
Come take it back, asshole.
Maybe we will. People are tired of Mario Maurovic the lying scumsack of OC.
Cool. Keep beating that drum.
Tony never tried to steal a sidewalk like Marovic is doing. Mario really is a piece of donkey excrement.
Mario owns that sidewalk. Not going anywhere. No matter how much Tony and the doofus bunch here cry about it.
Why does one of the renderings show a small child at the bar
She ordered a Shirley Temple. With a cherry.
Kids aren’t allowed to sit at a bar, Tony. Already in over your head lol.
It’s an AI image in a rendering ya idiot.
Lol.
