This sounds pretty cool: HalfSmoke, a fast casual sausage restaurant, is opening soon at the northeast corner of Florida and Georgia. That space has been a lot of things but never for very long: I can remember it being a pharmacy, Popeye’s, art shop, someone’s campaign headquarters — but mostly vacant. The Washington Post has…
