Fran's has their building permits and liquor license application in....didn't know they would serve booze...even better.

What is going in the space below Peach Tree?  Is this Fran's? 

I've noticed that concrete trucks have been pouring concrete in this space.  In fact, the truck is currently mixing concrete.

That is Frans.  They finally seemed to break loose on finishing this space last week.

Fran's had been doing below grade plumbing for the last two weeks.  Should get moving pretty fast now.

Looks like they have a lot of work to do yet.

When are they supposed to be open?

Looks like he didn't get the memo about plain white t-shirts.

even worst, it's a wife-beater!

Sign on the window at Fran's: Now hiring!

Doors were open in the space directly north of AMC - east of President.  Couldnt' tell if floors were poured or if they were doing any substantive work. 

Any word on this space?  Seems like a perfect space for a jazz club or other swanky spot. 

No active permits.

fran's has a terrazzo floor now.

Fran's has exterior signage and furniture - can't be too far off now. 

contractors (?) appeared to be eating  inside fran's today, so it looks like the kitchen is up and running. this will be one fancy diner!

pics from yesterday:

Hmmm... not exactly what I was expecting.  I thought it would be an old-school, lighted jukebox, 1960's-type diner.  Looks a lot more modern and, sorry, kinda....boring.

wow those thin metal chairs are VERY expensive (of they are the original Knoll ones).  I'm just impressed by those!

i'm sure they are replicas.  who puts $2,000 chairs in a 24/7 diner?

I threw out a couple of those chairs a few years ago(even had the original pads).  I had no idea they were anything special until I saw them at the Nelson.
