Midtown Mile - Page 35

This is a bit belated, but overshadowed by the 14th St. bridge re-opening, 11th St. has also re-opened by the new Loews hotel. It doesn't have its final pavement layer, and they haven't re-synchronized the lights, yet--westbound gets a green first, then eastbound.

Evos in Viewpoint continues to build out, and has some fairly attractive signs up.

Bazzaar at Ponce & Peachtree is being completely redone with a new name: Publik. Perhaps it'll be a gastropub? I haven't found any details about the new version.

Finally!

Also Concentrics will open "Bakeshop" next to Metropolis.

14,000 sf is a pretty big store. I'm guessing it'll go in the big two-level space on the corner of phase II.

Just a little update of midtown retail...went walking today in the beautiful weather and saw that Drew Lewis has its signs up in the old Metropolis space and is completely moved out of its old West Ptree location. Aurum looks like it is just about open in the old Interior Dimensions space of Metropolis. Hudson Grill is under construction in the old Artistry space. Eros is well under construction with its signs up. Spire is almost empty with only eyedeology, f2o, firehouse and the cleaners left. The offices at Solace on Ptree are empty and I have heard being turned into a larger groceriette. The old goldstar bakery cafe is under construction as a new concentrics bakeshop concept. Publik is open and looking good at the Fox. Things are looking pretty good given the economy and Peachtree is really filling in here and there.

Oh, so that's where it's going. Good news and thanks for the updates

Eros is the healthy fast food place in viewpoint and yes I believe that is what the sign said on the bakeshop.

I think you meant Evos (www.evos.com).

D'oh, I should have thought of that. Yeah, they've got their sign up and look to be coming right along.

Solace on Peachtree may get a groceriette? Wow, any details?

You'll also notice a newly opened clothing boutique next to Vortex. The sign on the the front still says Runway, which is what the store used to be but closed for a while. Not sure if its a new store or a reopened Runway. Cute little boutique.

The streetscape for 12th and Midtown is coming along nicely...lamposts and pavers and sidewalks etc lookin sharp...also there is a new building permit sign up inside of Piola across the street so I guess we will be getting a new Italian place in a few months.

A temporary banner for "Hudson Grill" is hanging above the door of the former Artistry, across Peachtree from Metropolis. They've been rebuilding the interior for a week or more, and now it looks like they're hiring.

Up at 12th & whatever-they're-calling-it, one of the two remaining tower cranes is coming down, and they're experimenting with a light-display in the north tower. Here's a crummy cell-phone shot I took last night:

I caught it in green, but it's been cycling through blue, red, white & green. I'm not sure what it'll be used for, or even if the individual lights will be covered with translucent panels, but it's certainly novel!

I sure like that building. Hopefully this restaurant will be better than the last two.

They have excellent chicken fingers. We stop at the one at Perimeter sometimes.

interesting, it looks like a LED curtain.

is that interior or exterior?

i can't make out if the lighting is inside the lobby or behind the exterior glass.

It's inside the building. I walked by it last night too.

That's good to know because Taco Mac has the worst chicken fingers. Ironically their wings are really good.
