Hometown Pizza is moving into Fern Creek. Oddly enough, they've chosen both a location that's extremely close to Bearno's AND a location that seems to have the "kiss of death" curse on it.
It'll be in the former home of 30Red Sports Saloon and an equally short-lived Filipino restaurant (which had rather tasty food in my opinion). Before that, I think it was the very short-lived location for a bar that was previously in the rinky-dink shopping center behind Moby Dick (I don't remember the name(s) as that was before I moved to the Creek).
I like me some Hometown Pizza (better than Bearno's), and I have some brand loyalty toward them since they came to Bloomfield decades ago when Bloomfield didn't have much going on other than a greasy diner and a couple mini-marts for food options. It's still pretty much the only game in town out there for dining.
It'll be interesting to see if it can hold up with Bearno's a few doors down AND the terrible location.
