The graffiti on the tall face of the former Big Woodrow’s spot at 3111 Chimney Rock Rd. has been joined lately by new signage for Rotana Mediterranean Restaurant. The 2-story 2-bar space north of Richmond Ave. shut down near the end of August last year after a planned temporary closure for building repairs turned into an unplanned permanent landlord dispute, and the building went up for lease around the same time. Some of those repairs to the 5,928-sq.-ft. space may have been getting done over the past year since the closure, if building permits issued in March and at the start of this month are any indication.

I can say with complete honesty, I never saw that use coming.
Also, I sure miss Woodrow’s. It was a dump, but it was my kind of dump.
The place always felt like the fire trap from hell
“Fire trap from hell”
Memo fresh from the Department of Redundancy Department.
I’ll give it 6 months til closing, if that long.
