I drove around it last week and the parking lot is fully finished (and large). The interior was in process but mostly open and I could see through from front to rear, thus no installation of booths, bars, and fixed items. Seemed to be some time away from open. The "front" is oriented toward the parking at the rear with apparent patio space there and large doors for open access. There was a dumpster in the lot. My memory from the drive-around tells me the co-restaurant there was named Beulah and had a sign facing Freedom.

did they change bossy beauts to beulah? this was the site plan the agenda had

[videtur quam contuor]

My memory is fallible on the name. The restaurant was incomplete and the sign fronts Freedom where I could not drive slowly enough to make it clearly. The rest was direct observation.

Bryant Park itself is great and the area keeps getting better. Legion has some solid beers imho.

Clear Sky has new pics of the Broadstone Apartments going up at Wilkinson and Suttle. Hopefully, some revitalization happens down Wilkinson.

Wish they had called it Salt + Pepper, and one of the buildings was black. But yea, this is an old potato chip factory, hence the name.

Saussy Burbank is rezoning land for town homes between the Broadstone apartments and new Legion.

Good to know. I was half way through rolling my eyes at the name, and now knowing the back story, I actually quite like it

Nope I know Jim. Alice was his mom's name. though I don't know his grandma's name, tho I doubt it'd be Beulah

Curiosity got to me so hit up the old google search. Apparently it was his great-aunt and she was bossy.

it is some relative though I remember reading that somewhere.  and yes if it is good I will be there. 

""Bossy Beaut’s Chicken Shack is one thing, a no-nonsense chicken sandwich. The newest concept from Chef/Restaurateur Jim Noble is the culmination of five solid generations of making chicken sandwiches within the Noble family.  Jim’s great Aunt Beaut, who was born in 1906 as Beulah Stroud Arledge, is the one who elevated the Noble family craft to an art form.  Her family fondly dubbed her Bossy, but as Aunt Beaut was famous for saying “You can get away with being bossy when you’re right”.  And Bossy Beaut was always right – especially when it came to making a chicken sandwich.  Named in her honor, the first location will be in Charlotte on Freedom Drive as part of the larger campus anchored by Noble Smoke and Hyde Brewing and will serve up spanking fresh fried chicken sandwiches, hand cut fries, slaw, and variety of classic NC beverages.""

and we have some great named restaurants in town that are terrible so I respect the family name.

That was my comment from a drive by last week. The Beulah name was not certain in my memory as I had to turn in from Freedom Drive and did not have time to read it closely but apparently I was right. One thing I recall clearly was after turning in to the LARGE parking area there was a mobile smoker near the building with the name Beulah. That is fact.

Random fact of the day; Beulah is an unincorporated community west of Mt. Airy.

[carolinaboy]

I had a great-aunt named Beulah. We called her Aunt Boo. My grand mother's name was Mabel and she had other sisters named Hazel and Thelma. Beulah must have been a popular name in NC  (or the south) in the early 1900's.

King James Version of Isaiah 62:4; "Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate; but thou shalt be called Hephzibah and thy land Beulah; for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married."

Beulah land was a very popular hymn in the late 1800's and 1900s

I’m from western NC- grew up in the Baptist church. “Beulah Land” was our jam.

“Beulah land, I’m longing for you

And some day, on thee I’ll stand

Where my home shall be eternal

Beulah Land, Sweet Beulah Land.”

Grew up in the Baptist church myself.  Still go to a church that, while not Baptist has traditional tendencies born out of the more traditional Protestant denominations.  So singing of Beulah Land on any given Sunday isn’t out of the question.
