I thought All American Pub was a terrible name but that hasn't stopped them from doing well.  I look forward to checking out this place when it opens.  From Fitness Connection it looks like the old Morehead Tavern has a nice back patio area.  For those who went when it was open can you confirm?

Or figure out how to distinguish itself from "The Tav on the Trax"

Or Ed's Tav...

I can confirm that the patio was AWESOME! That bar is really huge, and the patio just makes it bigger. Glad to see something coming back to that spot.

That's fine by me. At least it's not another auto body repair shop. Or sushi restaurant. Or Mattress Firm.

There is a job opening for "Director of Historic SouthEnd"

I can think of tons of people on this site that are (at least in my mind) qualified to hold this position.

I thought about applying for it but in all seriousness, I am not qualified.

Damn, I didn't realize Ted Boyd was leaving. He's been great for South End. 

[kermit]

^ last week he was announced as the downtown development manager for Cary (who knew they had a downtown?)

Some renovation work is being done in the former Luxe space (I didn't even know it closed) at East & Cleveland. Anyone know what is going in there? If it were another boutique of some kind I wouldn't expect as much work as seems to be happening.

 

Not sure if this belongs in a Southend thread but since its just a retail matter and not new construction didn't think that the Dilworth thread was appropriate either.

Work has begun on the pedestrian refuge median on South blvd at Rensselaer.

 

about damn time.....

The old Morehead Street Tavern now known as "The Tavern" is having their grand opening happy hour tonight from 6-8PM.  Complimentary food and drink samples with a band.

It may mean nothing but I noticed today that the "Available" sign was removed from the Zucco space (across the parking lot from Atherton market). No activity inside however.

 

On a completely unrelated note, I think Southend is overdue for a Mellow Mushroom. Perhaps the retail space at Camden would be appropriate?

I doubt you'll see a mellow mushroom in southend. You've already got the mellow on selwyn and soon we will have one in 3rd Ward.

^ I dunno, they have a pretty high store density in Atlanta.

 

EDIT: I think location decisions are made by the franchisee within each territory.

The former "Unexpected Finds" building between B&O and the cleared site for Camden Gallery will now be "Club Fetch", a boarding/daycare/pet spa. I think its an underutilization of an amazing retail space, but the place in Southend that I take my dog occasionally is so busy I can understand the need for another. They've painted the building cream and black, and it looks good. Hopefully with a solid row of retail from Camden Gallery to its side, this will not feel like a wasted opportunity.

I was pleased to see that Tupelo Honey has signifant sinage facing the LRT, rail trail.

Is that a requirement of zoning?

[southslider]

^Nope, just wise marketing.

this condemned warehouse at 2150 Hawkins (across from Sycamore and Spectrum)  is now getting heavy work done. No idea what it will become and, honestly, I am surprised that it is not being torn down (there are significant masonry problems visible from the rear of the building).

The Sycamore lot is finally free of junk cars and trucks, that lot looks _much_ bigger without the junk.

Honestly so few of these warehouses are worth saving. This district will never have a decent feel unless the street-vibe is completely redone/reimagined

Didn't see that coming: an Adam and Eve store has gone into the old trophy shop space across South Blvd from Post Southend (Circle) and next to the Westport Big and Tall.

Hey! I got a shout out on SouthendCLT.com for a development map I made of Camden!

http://www.historicsouthend.com/big-changes-on-camden-road/

Check it out. 

There is a meeting about the new office/retail project on Camden on 1/29. 
This is the project I am most excited about in SouthEnd.

[kermit]

Sounds like Carribou / Bruggers on East will have a new Restrauant tenant.
