Title: New Development in Park & King area
Post by: Southbanker on June 11, 2007, 10:50:31 PM
Anybody know of any retail/dining/housing planned for the Park & King area?  There seems to be a good bit of activity around there.

Thanks

Did you see that new BBQ place over there? I thought it was an odd location, but good luck to them.

Have you tried it out?  I haven't gotten around to it yet, but it definately smells good passing by.

There's a development in the works called Riverside Court.  However, I don't know if it's been delayed by the change in the housing market.

Conditional capacity availability for Riverside Court, 22 condominiums, 2767 Lydia Street between King Street and Sydney Place, on 1.84 acres, $2.5 million; agent is Doug Skiles; owners are Mark Himes and Stringfellow Partners LLP. (No. 7537)

I haven't :( typically when I walk by there it is 6:30 or so in the morning and BBQ just doesn't sound that great. But, I can still smell it so you know whatever they are slow cooking must be tender.

Brown Brothers BBQ (http://"http://www.brownbrothersbbq.com/") is pretty good.  Their ribs are sooooo tender.

Slow cooked ribs sounds really good, I must try this place for lunch sometime.

Has anyone been to that restaurant yet?  Is it any good?  Good beer selection?

I went there yesterday.  Nice change of pace .  Worth a try.  I wouldn't rave about it but I'd go there again.  It would be better if they would have German style St. Pauli girls for waitresses .

Now that you mention it, a Colombian themed restaurant might offer some interesting diversion as well. Cartagena anyone? I just knew there was some reason to keep going to that damn beach!

Did you see there is a new italian place and hair salon by the moose? Unfortunately the little curves like gym on the end didn't make it the woman had to close her doors last month.

I honestly don't know how this place keeps going.  I have given up on them.  For the past few months we have called to put in an order and they are always out of something so we go somewhere else.  Sad to say we don't give them our business anymore.  They had great food when they actually had it.

I had the same experience! They were out of ribs! Imagine that.

We gave them four opportunities...each time they came up short.  Now we don't even consider them.  And we really wanted to support a local/neighborhood BBQ place.

The first time I went in was really good. The law of diminishing returns kicked in after that.

That place fleeces you on beer prices.  Also, if they consider that a biergarten then I have a couple of bridges to sell you.

Speaking of Bar-b-que's, is Buddy Ezell's still in that area?
