I can't wait! It's is amazing how much commercial development is happening all at once in Springfield. Why did it take so long for people to realize the potential on Main Street? Has it recently become easier to get financing up there? Or is it a spill over effect of San Marco and Riverside/Avondale being built out and the rent climbing?

Update: they've changed locations due to unforeseen costs at the previously planned site. Still on Main Street, near south west corner of 8th & Main, directly next to Hyperion Brewing Co and across from Crispy's.
Lease just signed.

Excellent news!
In the old Carl's Restaurant?
I'm glad they found a place! I can't wait for it to open.
Update - they've changed the name to 1748 Bake House and working to open early 2019.

It will be a 2 story concrete garage with 5 floors of wood framed housing most likely.
I think you posted this on the wrong thread. ;D
Update: construction permits have been approved. Build out commencing soon.
Now we need some new townhomes mixed in within this area on Main and 8th....
A couple hundred units of upper level multifamily on Main and 8th Streets wouldn't hurt.
More details & background about 1748 Bake House. Looks like a September opening?

Today's the grand opening.
Had a sneak peak - great atmosphere, attention to detail & obviously food quality. They have a big following for a reason.
Open 8am-4pm, Tuesday-Saturday and 9am-3pm Sunday. Breakfast, lunch, dessert & take home goods.
Still operating at Riverside Arts Market on Saturdays, as well.
Stopped by today. It was great. Try the mushroom and cheese turnover!
Big fan of their stuff at RAM. Can't wait to check this out.
I don't see it on the menu...
Had a really nice meal at Town hall Sunday night. Do you think it will survive?

Do they offer donuts?
Nope. But the breads and baked goods are excellent.
