Fellow Ags, Braindead Brewing in Deep Ellum is opening back up tomorrow for dine in. Like many places, it's been a rough few months, but one of the owners has been like a brother to me since high school, so I'll be there tomorrow. I'll buy you a beer if you come as well, I'll be the dude in the A&M shirt.

Alamo had re-opened the Richardson and LH locations, but now they're closing those too (hopefully temporarily)

In positive news, we are getting a Heim BBQ place in the former Mockingbird Diner location at entrance of Love Field. I hear it's good.

Heim is excellent. Bacon Burnt ends are amazing and the mac and cheese is awesome.

They have a combo sandwich named after a Texas BBQ critic that has almost every meat on it. You can't pick it up but can use it as a mini sampler to decide on future orders.

Not a restaurant (although it had a grill in it), but Telos Fitness is suddenly closing tomorrow. Sent out email tonight to come get your stuff tomorrow if you keep it in a locker. Sounds like a behind payment lease deal and they are being evicted ASAP.

Used to be a member. Bummer.

This is amazing news for me, way closer to home.
the_batman26: I guess yall need this, its something to take pride in. At least the Feds trusted us with the Space Center; and I seem to recall the Feds not having the best time in Dallas.

Not a member. Never was. But serious bummer. Gyms have taken it in the shorts. I worry there are more on the verge.

The Uygurs - Lucia/Macellaio are closing Macellaio permanently, moving Lucia to its space and opening Lucia to-go from the Salaryman location opened by their former sous chef. Thats probably the best they could hope for, for 2 higher end concepts that were not doing dine-in.

Cane Rosso is taking over the old On Rotation space in Lakewood. They are opening Thunderbird Pies, which is Detroit style pizza, and Cow Tipping Creamery in the space. So pizza, pizza, ice cream all next door to each other

I highly recommend Thunderbird for any of you who haven't tried it yet. We've had it delivered twice, and it's probably our new go-to.

Other restaurants that have been killed
Matchbox and Beer Blatt, both at PH Village. Good riddance to Matchbox.

you're going to be pleased with its replacement. When it's public enough, I'll spill it.

We won't need you to spill it once it's public. So spill it now, smarty!

Though not Covid related, losing Frost right next door was a punch to the gut. It started 2020 on a bad note.

Curious to see what replaces Blatt. Really liked the food and the beer variety.
