That's actually not long. I'm not sure what sort of financial resources they have but if I were them I would have moved the bar to the back wall, knocked the walls out and improved the flow. 6-8 weeks sounds more cosmetic.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Jul 30, 2022Reopening in September, so it’s a extensive renovation
Someone taking the leap on the Maurizio's Pizza spot? Good. I wish them the best.RockChalkSTL wrote: ↑Aug 06, 2022A somewhat popular South City restaurant is plotting a relocation to Downtown, possibly to a prominent location on Tucker.
I think they'd going to do great there. They're optimistic.
I will spill more when I can.
Or the Bar314 spot.TheWayoftheArch_V2.0 wrote: ↑Aug 08, 2022^ My initial reaction was "MoBar", but that would be a contender as well. With the hot node being around Square et al, I imagined something further north than Maurizios.
I remember 1994/95ish the Medicine Shoppe was an internet cafe. I'd go to City Diner for dinner then head over there to nerd out.Baltimore Jack wrote: ↑Aug 11, 2022I didn't realize City Diner opened in 1992. I moved to the city in 2002 and lived on Shaw. Then it was South City Diner and I thought it was recently opened then. I agree with others that it's been an afterthought for me the last few years.
Montebello Pizza.jacob_rb_15 wrote: ↑Aug 12, 2022What's the best and cheapest local pizza place in South City along the I-55 corridor?
The Cecil's on S. Grand is above average for the chain. They seem to be more generous on their cheese and sauce.symphonicpoet wrote: ↑Aug 12, 2022^Man, if that's inside of city limits it's not by much. The front wall maybe. That said . . . I'll have to check it out. The Cecile W's on Grand is fine and the prices are reasonable. I've had some good experiences at the Original Crusoe's, if that's close enough to 55 to count. (Not quite sure how strictly to define "55 corridor.") Cafe Piazza seemed pretty good when I ate there for the first time last fall. (I've been meaning to go back, but I keep getting distracted and my wife doesn't ever want pizza, so it's typically kind of a special event with other friends.)
Damn, that's unfortunate. Not really willing to make the drive out to St. Peter's for it :/Ebsy wrote: ↑Aug 12, 2022Happy Joes on Watson in Marlborough is closing tomorrow. Many fond memories going there as a kid. There really needs to be an effort to develop a more sustainable vision for Watson, as with recent closures it has gotten even bleaker.
I believe Happy Joe's as a whole is working on growing their brand/footprint, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are more in the metro not too far into the future.Trololzilla wrote: ↑Aug 12, 2022Damn, that's unfortunate.
