Downtown update
Developer Milton Kern said he just received building permits for two projects: Thai Pan, a Thai restaurant on Elm Street near Fincastle's, and the Flying Anvil, a music club.
Kern estimates that both the restaurant and the club will open in April. For more on the Flying Anvil, see Jeri Rowe's article in Go Triad from October...ambitious plans.
I for one hail the opening of a Thai restaurant downtown. But where is the sushi? Hopefully raw fish will be next.
