Bluff City Bayou Moving and Barboro Alley Flats

Bluff City Bayou at 694 Madison in the Edge is moving and today is their last day at this location. They will re-open sometime in the very near future at Peabody and Cooper. This is too bad for those of us who work in the Edge or on the edges of the Edge (would that be called the Fringe?) as this was a perfect place to get a good lunch in the immediate neighborhood; a neighborhood starved for quality choices I might add. Nevertheless, Peabody & Cooper should be a great location for their delicious Cajun fare and I wish them luck there.

Visible work was happening this past week on the Barboro Alley Flats site aka "The Hole" on Main Street between Barbaro and Gayoso alleys. In the Memphis Business Journal's article on 'tight-site' construction projects, this future 5-story building is described as mixed use with 92 apartments, 7,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 205 parking spaces.

Interesting! I used to eat there a lot with people from work. Too bad it's moving out of town, but I'm happy to hear it's moving out to where I live! I think that location will do a lot better overall; maybe the lunch rush will go down, but I think the Cooper location will be better overall.

When I last spoke to one of the guys there, if I remember correctly, they were shooting for an opening right around now (end of March, first of April). If I find out for certain I will write a little note on a post. Thanks for reading and I miss them too!
