This is exciting!

I keep missing the part where it says a year from now. i hope its that quick.
It's from the Bloomingdale listserv a few months ago.
"Recall that I mentioned that Twyla Garrett of IME, whose office is
located at 1334 North Capitol Street NW, would be operating the EC-12
restaurant in the Old Engine Co. No. 12 firehouse. At the Summit,
Mark Somebody (sorry, I didn't get his last name), who is with IME,
commented that EC-12, a white linen-tablecloth restaurant, would be
opening in May 2009. "
ah. thanks john!
I doubt this project will be successful unless the focus on less and do that extremely well. If the plan was implemented today, it would fail. The neighborhood doesn't need a serve all/do all facility. It just needs a good restaurant/bar that knows how to serve a burger with a pint of beer.
What Garrett has done for Cleveland, my hometown. Good stuff: http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2008/02/an_ambitious_business_plan_for.html
