Remember the guacamol: Tim’s Texas Roadhouse bites the dust
Update: See here for Wall Street Journal video and photos of the destruction.
A team of backhoes moseyed on over last Thursday to Tim’s Texas Roadhouse, the last establishment standing on the former Super Bar Street, and reduced it to chunks no bigger than a tumbleweed. While I took photos from a distance, namely, on the other side of the fence surrounding the former bar street area, I have been unable to get them uploaded. I guess you will have to imagine a building being converted to rubble. Not exactly a rarity in Beijing…

Deja vu: Closures coming at Workers Stadium in lead-up to October 1 holiday
As the PRC prepares for its sixtieth birthday, look for some venues on the Workers Stadium block to close in a similar if shorter replay of what happened with last year’s Olympics. Last night, the management at Fubar (map) told me that this newcomer to the scene would shut its doors from September 17 to October 2. Meanwhile, Kro’s Nest (map) will also see downtime, though I am waiting to hear the dates involved.
