Re: Sushi Guru. . . Is Duke's bread still open?
Duke's Bread was only open for a short time and was replaced with something else last Fall.
-
Does anyone know what happened with the Nova's bakery renovation? They built on to the back last summer and the project has been just sitting unfinished since then...
-
If you look at the webcam you can see that the second crane is finally going up!
-
Has anyone else heard the rumor that the Thirsty Beaver has finally been sold and is turning into a parking garage?
-
-
I've heard that a Brueggers/Dunkin Donuts is eventually going in on the other side of the McDonalds where the abandoned restaurant currently stands.
-
Any news of Legion Brewing in Plaza Midwood? Is it still scheduled for a Spring/Summer opening?
-
It looks like they have started to fence off the pawn shop at Central and the train tracks and are preparing for demo...
-
^ there is a Squires building near the tracks on Pecan... which building on Central?
I believe he's referring to the pawn shop and related industrial buildings behind it
-
Does anyone have any updates on Legion Brewing? Are they still looking at a Spring opening? Looking at the amount of work left to be done my guess is early summer...
-
Nothing new in here, but CBJ picked it up:
-
No, that was a Pizza Fusion.
-
The pawn shop next to the tracks has a sign out front that says "closing sale". Looks like the apartment project may actually be happening.
-
It looks like "Social Status" has finally re-opened and they are making some progress with "Workmen's Friend" (I spoke to the GC who said that they are still hoping for a late spring opening) as well as "Legion Brewing" (it looks like they delivered a bunch of dry wall the other day).
That being said, has anyone heard anything about the 2 large apartments that have been proposed on Central on either side of the railroad tracks?
-
They probably need the extra parking to comply with zoning restrictions as the new use will eliminate any grandfathered zoning exceptions. No way they get a variance with the existing parking spaces and the use change to a restaurant. So, it is either brewery + parking - buildings, or no brewery. Regardless, parking is getting really tight and will only get tighter as Legion Brewing, Workman's Friend, and the various apartment complexes open (more residents will mean more visitors). These two buildings are pretty crappy, so I have no issue seeing them go. I do hope they do a large outside area, which I expect anyway since it is in PM and a brewery. It would be pretty freaking cool if they went up and did another large rooftop, though I have no idea if that is possible.
One thing that has not been discussed in this thread yet is the possibility of future bike B-Cycle locations in PM. One or two here in the heart of PM, Veteran's Park, and then one up near 5 points, would be ideal. Add two more in Elizabeth (7th-Pecan and 7th-Hawthorne) and you have bike connectivity all the way to South End!
I couldn't agree more about the comments above both on Legion and on B-Cycle. I keep sending emails to B-cycle asking them to open up another location in PM but to no avail. Maybe if enough people bug them it will happen...

Demolition has begun on Marvel Apartments, the boutique apartment building next to the VFW across from the small Shell station.
That's great news. Legions has also begun interior demo on Brodt's and the interior demo on Workmen's Friend has started to pick up some steam as well. Any news on the proposed apartments on Commonwealth and St. Julien? They was a crew of about 20 people there yesterday clearing out the space behind the abandoned buildings and Independence...
-
Well it looks like "Catch On Seafood" opened over the weekend although they are still doing a little work on the inside, Yama finally got a new sign, they are doing a ton of work gutting the inside of "Workman's Friend", and they have installed windows and are about to install hardi-plank siding on the addition to Nova's.
-
Any more news on a brewery moving into the old Brodt Music Factory?
-
Yeah I am hoping there is still more work to be done. This just seems so weird in that there is NO mention of it anywhere on Starwood. It seems like they're trying to rebrand this one, but also pretend it doesn't exist because the quality of the building and rooms don't live up to the Le Meridian name.
Agreed. This is over a year old, but it's all that I could find:
-
Agreed! I can't wait to see this all shape up. I really wish more of these places were putting in some retail, but I'll take the bodies first with retail to come later. Also, if some of the projects west on Central Ave pan out (Walgreens at Eastway and Advance Auto near Shell), then I think retail might hit a tipping point.
Several ages back someone mentioned a Bruegger's going in at Central and Morningside. However, I recently saw that one of those buildings next to Krazy Fish applied for a rezoning to move their dumpsters and do some other minor work. I assume that they would not be doing that if the building was being torn down for another development. Does anyone know if this was just a rumor if this is/was actually in the works?
I believe that it's going in the empty lot between Landis and Tippah Park Ct. on Central Ave, and is still in the works.
-
^Its Tribridge out of Atlanta. They're building 246 units.
That's incredible news about the apartments behind Fern. Any idea when that is going to happen?
-
Does anyone have any pictures of this?
-
Any more news on whether or not they will build a second tower?
-
Yeah, I drove by there yesterday and fencing was already up.

Have the hotel projects officially stalled? I haven't heard anything at all on this in a while.
