Corduroy Update

Not so much an update than a foto that tells me a little more information: when I was walking inside the Convention Center to Coffee Fest, I saw the Forrester Construction sign outside a building facade on Ninth St. (1122 to be exact). After seeing the show, I made a point to take a walk to the location knowing that Forrester does restaurants as a specialty of their high end construction company. I first met Scott Forrester when the Inn at Little Washington did their expansion and followed them for on-the-site stories years ago when they built out TenPenh and Olives. For me the Forrester sign can be a pre-indicator of good food -- you will find on their Web site names like Zaytinya, Oyamel, Rosa Mexicano, Acadiana, Ceiba and many more.

When I got closer, I saw the
CORE architectural logo as well ... another good indicator with restaurants like Brasserie Beck, COMET pizza + ping pong, Black Salt, Lia's and once again many more. I also found on their Web site a rendering of an "unbuilt" Michel Richard Concept for 8,000 sq. ft. ... hmmm!

This is the site for Tom Power's Corduroy ... see Amanda McClement's Metrocurean for the real news ... I only have an updated foto ... with the hints of good things ahead.
