I've been in this building at least once, back when it was Doc's Gumbo Grille<\/a>, but as I view Sushi as Superman views Kryptonite, it never even occurred to me to visit TakoSushi<\/i>. I see from the various writeups on the closing that they had a Southwest component, which I might have guessed from the Tako<\/i>, except that sounds very like a Japanese word when spelled that way. While I have not been inside, I have admired the very visible and shiny ventilator for years. I also notice that the Yin\/Yang mural is a Blue Sky creation.<\/p>\n

According to the Takosushi website<\/a> and statements to the press, the restaurant considered the building to be unsafe. The State<\/a> says the owner disputes that, and says that any interior damage would be the tenant's responsibility to fix. Here are two more takes from ColaDaily<\/a> and WLTX<\/a><\/p>\n

In a sign of the times, I could not get close enough to the front door to get a good picture of the posted notice (though you can probably read it on the click-through) because there is already someone sleeping in the doorway.<\/p>\n
