We never walk down that way, only see it driving, bad spot. The other side of the block gets some foot traffic but not here.
It’s a location that ought to do better for retail/restaurants, but I’m not sure if it ever will unless there are big changes: the Broadway side is close to the I-240 exit, so people see it driving past, but there’s too much traffic, usually in a hurry, and no obvious parking (signed or visible) until Walnut. The Lexington side is better but not great.
Maybe Loretta’s should move to the RAD…
in about 2 years (or so) it is going to be hopping down there…
the building (now for sale) will probably be turned into “luxury” condos…
Wait, wait. Let me guess.
A hotel!
Thank the Gods!! It’s been at least a week since the last one was announced.
I know. We are way overdue.
Some really great parking here, excellent choice to move your already successful restaurant too.
Or not, given that the 28806 Deli people took their goodwill there (first as Scratch, then the name changed to Nova) and didn’t do so well. It’s a tricky location. It’s just at the point of downtown where it feels like a trek for visitors.
I never understood the move either. They moved it away from their customer base. I’ve only been once to the new location. Just too inconvenient for me.
agreed…. it is a weird location
And a weird layout for a restaurant.
Loretta never owned the 27 Patton location. She had to move the business somewhere because the rent was raised a large amount every year.
