Being a Steady Eddy is not enough any more. I don't know if it is some sort of engineered tax loss on empty space or what, but there almost seems to be a preference for empty space at rent X+20% vs a filled space at rent X.jeff a. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318074644131544308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-18544300353462734662018-05-21T12:37:42.174-04:002018-05-21T12:37:42.174-04:00Not really so on the transient restaurants.

Colonnade, Highland Tap, Atkins Park, Buckhead Diner, Bones, Manual's Tavern, Rays on the River, Varsity, Canoe, etc. If you think about those restaurants, the key is consistency. I cannot remember having a bad experience at any of them. Food and service are always good.

Here today, gone tomorrow. If you have a favorite place, you better enjoy it when you can because there's no guarantee it won't up and close next week unexpectedly and unannounced. Some of my favorite neighborhood restaurants in New York and Chicago have been open for decades and thrive. Atlantans don't support much beyond a few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-65548620103862265602018-05-20T20:38:07.722-04:002018-05-20T20:38:07.722-04:00Saturday was actually Tap's last day, as I wen...Saturday was actually Tap's last day, as I went for brunch that afternoon.<br />Liked to walk there for a meal after attending an event at Woodruff. Was always pleasant to see what was featured on their changing menu. I'm sure something new will take over that prime space shortly. <br />TheJohnPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-30941715745958147182018-05-20T12:15:03.340-04:002018-05-20T12:15:03.340-04:00The Tap concept shoulda worked, menu was fine, and...The Tap concept shoulda worked, menu was fine, and when executed pretty good but the service there was just way too hit and miss at that price point. Training seemed poor and a lot of attitude copped, like no one wanted to be there. Just a weird vibe. Will be interesting to see what goes in there next.

We need more variety in this area of shopping and restaurants. At this point I'd rather see a Burger King or Fazoli's occupy that prime space. No more banks or retirement homes in East Cobb ...
