Noting the new handcrafted plywood “for sale or lease” signs now hanging on White Oak in front of King Biscuit Patio Cafe, a few Swamplot readers have written in to tell us that it looks like the Woodland Heights restaurant’s promised comeback has been called off before it even started. Restaurant guide b4-u-eat announced last month that building owner Pat Quinn would be teaming up with former Fitzgerald’s owner Sara Fitzgerald to reopen the restaurant. One reader tells Swamplot that remodeling work came to a halt 2 weeks ago, and that Fitzgerald spent all of last Thursday moving out of the building. The signs — one of them advertising the availability of owner financing — were posted over the weekend.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
darnit.
I wonder if they are taking a wait and see approach since so many other places are set to open soon. I noticed last night that Beck’s prime has their new sign up outside of their new location between Heights and Yale on 19th street.
Any new restaurant in the Heights will have plenty of business. Come on over….
