So add some more to the list:
If you lived on Colonel Muldrow or at Studio East at the front door of the District…play taps because all of it sans one apt have been completely leveled and dirt work has begun on the hotel/performing arts/whatever is going there. I can’t fathom the amount of rats and roaches now homeless.
Gabe Jackson’s wife’s new spot Dapper Donut is open next to the bin. Really good looking stuff and heard good things from folks that have been to the one in Flowood.
The Lodge was bought out by Alumni Hall, which is going to be a major improvement. Their stores are great and offer some really unique team specific offerings. Name is not changing, but you’re going to get even more quality gear.
Vowells is closing, but won’t be vacant for long. Roy Oswalt is turning one side into an ACE, the other into a grocery store and the back will be a sports training facility.
Over at College View, Marco’s Pizza is preparing to open. From the same building: bad news for fans of the Topless Hot Chick, Stagger will not be reopening, sadly.
Walkon’s broke ground last week in front of the LaQuinta on 12E and the Chipotle building on the gravesite of Petty’s has its frame work up. Expect ground to be broken on a second Wendy’s by the Walkons soon, the one on 12 17s up the right lane so much it’s unbearable.
Magnolia Social, owned by two chefs with success in the Birmingham market, will be open very soon in Hotel Chester and it’s a damn nice looking space. Major improvement.
Now we need a music venue that doesn’t get just “riding in my truck with my baby while drinkin ultras” rap-country and we’ll be really cooking with gas.
