My memory is that this building was built to be a Redbone Alley<\/a>, and after that it was a barbecue joint, and I believe briefly a jazz club before moving to mexican food as Pancho's<\/a>. When the San Jose<\/a> in the current Pasta Fresca<\/i> building closed, Pancho's<\/i> re-flagged as San Jose<\/i>, and operated there for a number of years.<\/p>\n

When commenter Larry mentioned that the San Jose<\/i> had closed as was moving to the Sparkleberry<\/a> location, I figured that another operation, perhaps an Asian buffet, would be in the space before long. I was quite surprised then that when I went by to get some pictures, the building was in the process of being knocked down. I guess I shouldn't be *too<\/i>* surprised: It was an odd structure, with a mostly unused second floor which must have cost a lot to heat and cool. There are no signs indicating what, if anything, is to be built here once the lot is vacant.<\/p>\n

There is apparently still electricity to the ornamental pool pump system, and it is beeping quite forlornly about the water level being low.<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to commenter Larry)<\/p>\n
