I’m never sad about more taco options. Any idea which space this is going in?

Perhaps they just need to offer an Italian Burrito.

And guys, get your minds out of the gutter.

Especially after losing Armadillo grill, I think there is only 1 Mexican style restaurant on Glenwood now under 222.

We’re down to only 2 spots. The space behind the incoming Crunkleton & the space next to Madre.

Awesome thanks!
Btw we’re gonna be downtown tomorrow afternoon and will check in on the crunkleton progress.

Also there’s La Mala coming to the old Clouds/Napper Tandy space.

Looking forward to seeing progress pics! Excited for both Crunkleton and La Mala. I think both will do well in the long run and do wonders for elevating the Glenwood vibe (atleast on that side) into somewhere the mature crowd can also enjoy.

Also, not the best quality pic (sorry) but it’s the best I could find on Google with the updated tenants. Assuming the taco spot will go in the retail spot circle in red here. That would only leave two more empty retail spaces throughout the development. Smoky Hollow is finally filling up.

Zero shopping options (unless you count the luxury dog toy store lmao)

The Indian Resto has seen no progress for a very long time. I’m doubtful it will open. So disappointing!

That’s interesting…according to the initial announcements, it should’ve been open by now. So you’d think there would at least be some substantial progress.

I think Heat may have pulled out of Smoky Hollow. They had signage on the window and now it’s gone.

A FastMed Urgent Care is also going into Smoky Hollow. I hope they’re taking the “Heat” retail spot. As I feel like if the Urgent Care it’s next to Madre, that’s just a really weird and awkward placement.

Wow, well if Heat pulls out there, they’ll still have to find another location, since their current spot is gonna be demolished soon. And I forgot about FastMed! If anything, you’d think they’d take the big spot in the upper-left hand corner between madre and the parking deck. That’s the biggest retail spot left, and it just seems to fit them accessibility/visibility-wise.
