The other day I was walking to Annie’s Ace Hardware on Upshur and noticed a few big, empty buildings. They looked like they used to be warehouses or light industrial facilities, and there was a huge open lot on the corner.
The first thing that came to mind was “wouldn’t this be an awesome beer garden?” There’s tons of room for tables and such, and the warehouse space would be good for a kitchen and inside bar. Or it could just be a bar or restaurant with a lot of open space. It’s a neat looking building too and looks very open inside.
I don’t really know any restauranteurs or bar-owners, but I hope somebody gets inspired and makes this happen! Upshur Street Beer Garden!
