Francesco's | 48m | 16s | Arlington Street | DAAS

Ignoring the ugly FRANCESCO on the right, and the corrugated metal on both sides of the corner. this is fine to me. It's certainly better than what we have there now.
Is it really acceptable for a developer of an end block to give you one nice facade and just be like "yeah ignore the 150ft wall of depressing metal facade down the other street?"

Yah they left several weeks ago. I recall a sign on their door saying they were opening a new spot in the Beltline soon but can't remember where.
According to the signage they're moving into Emerald Stone on 15 Ave and 8 St where Wow Chicken fizzled out. But I don't think it's open yet.
