Rover's in Seattle is named after a dog but people flock there every day... I think its a matter of seeing the concept and tasting the food.

Not very pleased with the name but I still think it will be a decent restaurant.

Those two series of lots seems like excellent opportunities to really shore up that neighborhood. I can't imagine saving the now graffiti covered cow wall is that important. I'd rather see a 130 unit apartment building or whatever (maybe with some retail at the base?) than it just sit vacant for another 5 years. I do get that having a massive neighbor right against you (in the Deano's case) would be somewhat disconcerting, but it seems the whole area between Thomas/John and Madison is transforming into more multi-family housing (townhomes, apartment buildings, etc.) and less SFH. There seem to be quite a number of empty lots along Madison that need transformation. And it would seem those would be cheaper/easier to get your money back on than some of the other places being built. Lame-o! Eric – Thanks for the update.

As such, I doubt I'll set foot in Barrio. If the people who own La Carta de Oaxaca were opening the restaurant, that would be another story. But alas, if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. ps: well-crafted cocktails == 10 bucks for a bottom shelf drink.

I've never heard the word barrio used to mean just neighborhood. I guess translated literally it may mean neighborhood in the same way that cock means rooster. Hmm…I’m with econE on this one.
