I first wrote about this space at Sparkleberry Crossing in the closing for Al-Amir<\/a> (which has since returned to the north east with a Sandhill location). I believe Al-Amir was the first tenant in the space, and the interior design somewhat reflected their Mediterranean\/Middle Eastern heritage, which you can still see in the shape of the internal windows here. If you look at the Al-Amir link, you'll also see a tile fountain in the center of the foyer. I think<\/i> that Mirage<\/i> kept that for at least part of it's tenure, but as you can see here, it is now gone.<\/p>\n

Mirage<\/i> was one of those odd places that never seem to be open when you go by, but never seem to be out of business either. In fact, at least twice I saw the place looking deserted with no cars in its part of the lot and went so far as to park and get out the closing-cam only to walk up to the doors and see that although it was not open, it wasn't out of business either. Maybe it was the name. After all, a \"mirage\" is something that appears to be there, but is really not..<\/p>\n

UPDATE 10 April 2013<\/b> -- It's to be Henry's<\/i>:<\/p>\n
