As usual, the only way to argue against me is to say that I said something I did not say. I actually was arguing that there was some potential for redevelopment up N. Shep as a result of a gradual turning of the tide along the street. It was in a thread that I started about a new townhome development at N. Shep and 6th in what is now a storage lot for the Ford dealership. I noted that there is a new storage facility planned for 15th and N. Shep. My conclusion was that these were signs that the tote the note shops were giving way to new development. You said that nothing would happen along N. Shep because alcohol sales are restricted from 11th up to 20something-th. So, you were actually wrong. Development can proceed in the dry section of N. Shep. My point about traffic was that the restaurants and bars that have redeveloped Washington Ave would not want to open along N. Shep because of the one way traffic that patrons would have to deal with. Fat Cat Creamery does not need the traffic to be successful. They have a big following with the foodies that, like with Revival Market, will translate into a larger following. People will go find Fat Cat. That is why they are able to take a less desirable location in exchange for lower overhead costs.

Chron reports that the chicken and doughnut place by the Liberty Kitchen folks will start building out/renovating this month and hope to be open next month. http://www.chron.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/article/BRC-Gastropub-broadening-its-brand-4879335.php?cmpid=entertainmenthcat Heights General Store is shooting for early November opening. Fat Cat Creamery is mostly finished, but has some utility issues to resolve. Things are plugging away at the Coltivare location, but no promises made on opening. I could see them getting opened before the holidays. Good Dog is shooting for an October opening. Add in Torchy's and we will have a half dozen new places to eat open potentially by the end of the year. Not too shabby.

Any update on Fat Cat Creamery, I know they were shooting for early June (so i suspected August in the earliest).
