Can't be any worse than a QT slice. Can it?
Based upon their Twitter feed it opened this afternoon.roger wyoming II wrote:Tim Ho's is hoping to open on Monday.
Drive-thru is open 24 hours.
With the lack of anything downtown to eat late, it'd be a travesty if they don't serve pedestrians via the drive-thru window late nights.

Was this build out insanely fast? I'm shocked they went from white box to full blown Timmy Ho's this quickly.

Looks like Bailey is putting an event space called Willow in the old Left Banks Books spot.jambo wrote:Both 1015 Locust (old Fiat showroom) and 321 North Tenth Street (old book store) have their windows paper covered. Any information on what's happening behind those windows? Any David Bailey moves on these locations?
Inquiring minds want to know!!
EDIT: as there won't be a lot of renovation, they plan to open soon:

Kitchen Sink is a really nice addition to downtown.... it fills a niche not really met elsewhere and its nice to have another sit down breakfast option (and all day!). If things like Rooster and The Kitchen Sink were around back in the day maybe I'd still be living downtown.
It looks like downtown will be getting another Smoothie King along with Saint Louis Hills this year:

Hopefully the new location is in a CBD storefront but I have to wonder if BPV will pick it up after Peacock pulled out the Jamba Juice.

Could downtown really support another Smoothie King? Maybe it can, but im sure it'll "steal" sales from the Park Pacific location.roger wyoming II wrote:It looks like downtown will be getting another Smoothie King along with Saint Louis Hills this year:

^ Supporting a full second location is kind of why I thought maybe it might be some slimmed down version like replacing the Jamba Juice space at BPV, which I believe is more akin to a kiosk than a full blown storefront sit down shop. But I suspect the Park Pacific location stays as I doubt another location would do significantly more business and they already are set up with a drive-thru. Will be interesting to see what happens.
Look for Gioia's Deli to announce the location of its downtown brick and mortar location this week... tasty news!
^ Gioia's is going into the old Sauce on the Side space as it originally hoped. Exciting news!
It's true. Here are the details: http://www.stlmag.com/dining/gioias-del ... -revealed/

No idea, but it doesn't seem any more dangerous than a standard suburban parking lot with. People drive way faster in parking lots than drive-thrus. At least we have Uber now, so I can pay the $5 minimum to ride through the drive-thru.MarkHaversham wrote:Isn't that generally considered an insurance liability?eee123 wrote:Drive-thru is open 24 hours.

^ Stepping into Gary Kreie's autonomous car future shoes, I can see the day when you send out for mechanized late-nite delivery. Or will it be by drone? Midnight shift machines.
Mike Shannon's is closing according to STLMag at end of month.

I read an article about how Toyota is struggling with how an autonomous car might deal with junk falling off a truck ahead, trying to sort out when to slam on the breaks because it might be a person, or just driver over it. Computer poor pattern skills are easily exposed with CAPTCHA tests -- Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.roger wyoming II wrote:^ Stepping into Gary Kreie's autonomous car future shoes, I can see the day when you send out for mechanized late-nite delivery.

I saw a CAPTCHA test recently where it showed 6 photos and asked me to mark the ones that are bread. So someday I picture a terrorist secretly replacing a simple stoplight with this bread test in the night. The next morning, all the autonomous cars are clogged at the stoplight trying to solve the bread ID problem to be allowed through the intersection.

As always there is a deeper element to the story. I and sure BPV didn't help however irrational crime fear and racial aspects also come into play.
