It was all moving super quick and then... nothing.

Quite a bit of activity at this site the last few days. Hopefully steady here on out.

Cant wait for this development to be completed so I can check this place out. Going to be a great addition as the area is in need of more good restaurants.

Work has definitely picked up again.

Concrete has been poured for a portion of the driveway.

Nice! Can we get the business name in the title?

[Andrew Ewert 56]

Suddenly!

They put that up fast. Was at brothers tacos Thursday and nothing was there

Willow BBQ is apparently going to be pitmaster... it's going to be called J-M BBQ.  "Fall 2020" ( i did not read the first page before posting this, whoops)

I would hate to be a new restaurant in today's atmosphere. So scary.

I suspect they are glad their delivery date wasn't March for the rodeo

Does anyone know what else is supposed to go on this large lot? On Bell St. there are a bunch of small concrete driveways that look like townhome driveways. Is there a residential portion?

I didn't see anything but parking lot on the original plans.

If the driveways are on Hutchins that might be 2-3 townhomes. There's only a tiny sliver of the block that they don't control. Here's the plat for more info:

Thanks for sending that over. But it isn't the area that they don't control. The driveways are along bell. They seem to be too close together to be entrances to a parking lot. I will snap a picture the next time I am over there.

Food truck parking maybe?

Too small for food trucks as they cannot block the sidewalk (also, why food trucks at a restaurant?). This appears to be a terribly implemented method of turning public street parking into private restaurant parking.

Was thinking food trucks mainly because of the area. Hutchins and St. E are turning into pedestrian friendly streets with more and more developments.

That would be a cool idea if they tried it. I guess they could be the sole alcohol vendor and make up for lost food sales that way.
