How many have closed?

by carla griffin » Thu Oct 16, 2008 11:41 am

Has anybody kept track of how many local restaurants we've lost lately?
Cafe Perusa
Primo
Market on Market (OK not a restaurant but still)
Park Place
Brownings
What are the others?

Nio's
I wouldn't count Rocky's - same ownership as Buckheads and they reopen on 10/20

Dietrich's on Frankfort Ave.

Oh wait, that was a long time ago and not because of the current economy, but, oh how I miss it.

Since Primo closed. . .and I think Dietrich's location is still vacant (maybe?). . .is a comeback in order?

I also was not aware Nio's had closed. This is getting painful.

It was merely fact finding not intended to upset, kick, or otherwise unsettle anybody.
