Tin Lizzy's Cantina, 700 Gervais Street: February 2019 7 comments
I was not aware of Tin Lizzy's, else I might have gone sometime. The menu looks decent.
When I first heard that it had closed, and was at 700 Gervais Street, I went to the building you see in the first shot, which is not, in fact, the location. Apparently 700 Gervais encompasses the whole arc of buildings around the parking lot there. WLTX has a (very) little more.
Apparently, the only non-Georgia locations of Tin Lizzy's left are in Greenville and Tallahassee.

Newk's Eatery, 707 Gervais Street Suite A: 11 March 2019 2 comments
Places in the Vista come and go before I even hear about them. All I know about Newk's is what Google has to say
Regional chain offering a menu of salads, pizzas & sandwiches in a casual setting.
It sounds like something I might have liked, but I'm not sure when I last ate lunch in the Vista.
The State has a few more details, and it looks like the only Newk's remaining in South Carolina is in Summerville.

Le Peep, 701 Gervais Street Suite 110: 3 April 2019 no comments
Well, this is, I don't know, not ironic exactly, but a little odd: I was on the 700 block of Gervais Street today, getting pictures of Newk's & Tin Lizzy, and when I got home, I saw on The State that Le Peep had closed Wednesday.
While I was down there, I looked at the place several times, but somehow did not notice any sign on the door, and didn't take any pictures. The picture above, from the grand opening, will have to do until I get down there again.
I like breakfast food, but rarely get to have it as I do *not* like early mornings. One day I may get to try Le Peep at Sandhill, Famous Toastery or Eggs Up, but it will probably be a while.
MaNo's Dogs, Burgers & More, Columbia Mall: 2018 1 comment
Here's another empty counter in Columbia Mall's food court. I don't know anything about it, but google does suggest that there was a Mano's Express in the Dutch Square food court. It seems an uncommon enough name that I suspect they were related, though the other one seems to have focused on soul food, while this one went the burgers & dogs route.

Miyo's , 715 Fashion Drive Suite 1: 31 March 2019 4 comments
When I took these pictures on 30 March, I couldn't see any indication on the door that the place was about to close, but apparently by the last day, it was there.
I have never eaten at any of the Miyo's or M locations, but I believe this one had been at Sandhill from the early days.

Charlie's Wings & Seafood, 2509 Forest Drive: February 2019 no comments
Charlie's took over fairly seamlessly from Nick's, and has now in its turn yielded to King's Pizza, though the sign changeover is less than finished.
I'm not sure if this is the same King's Pizza which replaced Chickadees on Marshall Street, but it would be an odd coincidence if not.

Arkos, 109 Old Chapin Road Suite K: January 2019 no comments
Here's a vacant restaurant space in the Flight Deck complex. I was not familiar with this place, but the description google gives is
Vibrant hangout featuring contemporary Latin dishes, handcrafted cocktails & a rooftop bar.
Doing some more googling around, it appears that the original Arkos changed ownership some time ago, and at closing the place was officially Stella's At Arkos. In general, the reviews seem to have dropped after the changeover.
