The Fight Against Egg Rolls

Asian corned beef egg rolls have become a staple in the Detroit area but some residents in Detroit's Green Acres neighborhood are not fans of the delicious food...

There is  a new Asian Corned Beef restaurant in the vacant building next to the neighborhood and their Asian Corned Beef Egg Rolls are causing an uproar..

In a front-page call-to-action in the August Greenacres-Woodward Civic Association News newsletter, Nick Lessnau outlined the association's concerns with the plans. Essentially, he contends the new ACB will be a nuisance to the neighborhood. He voiced concerns about the overflow of ACB's "litter, noise, and stench."

According to the Greenacres-Woodward Civic Association News, ACB's next location in the former Stanley's at 2411 W. Eight Mile Rd. will function as a commissary for ACB's other locations and a carryout location.

Here are some of their reasons for dispute:

"The litter, noise, and stench that are associated with high-volume/carryout restaurants, all of which will overflow into our neighborhood."
• "Negative impact on home values."
• "Hours of operation and hours of food/supplies deliveries."
• "The property is less than 100 feet from homes of families that include children and the elderly."
• "Increased traffic through residential streets, where children live and play."
• "The property is zoned R5 Medium Density Residential which does not support a carryout restaurant (See Division 6 of the Detroit Zoning Ordinance for by-right and conditional uses.)"

ACB owner Hasan White didn't return requests for comment.
