I've written about this building before in a closing for D'Lites \/ Miami Sub Grill<\/a>. Splendid China Buffet<\/i> has occupied the space since then, and seems to do a good business. The door sign is a little vague about what is going on. Certainly the construction is happening (and seems quite thorough..), and I don't doubt that something<\/i> with the same ownership will open here again, but it's not clear it will still be Splendid China<\/i> -- It looks more like a total refit.<\/p>\n

BTW, does anyone have the definitive name for the sidestreet between Splendid China<\/i> and Lowes<\/i>? I've see that I've used both \"Firelane Road\" and \"Fire Lane Drive\" in the past. Google Maps seems to think \"Fire Lane Road\", Mapquest goes with \"Firelane Road\", and I'm sure I got the \"Fire Lane Drive\" from some source..<\/p>\n

UPDATE 17 October 2011<\/b> -- Wow! There's *remodeling<\/i>* and then there's this:<\/p>\n

(also added a night picture of the place still operating at top)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 16 July 2012<\/b> -- It pains my sense of order to stick this update in the middle of the post, and above the 1 February 2012 update, but I have run across these pictures on my drive that predate the pictures in that update. (They are from 27 December 2011):<\/p>\n

\"p1000705_tn.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"p1000706_tn.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 1 February 2012<\/b>: Took the temporary?<\/i> notation off the post title. At this point it is clear that Splendid China<\/i> is not coming back, but that instead the place will now be known as Jasmine Buffett<\/i> as these two poorly composed drive-by shots show. Presumably with that name it will still be an Asian buffet:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 16 April 2012<\/b> -- Jasmine<\/i> looks pretty close to completion:<\/p>\n

UPDATE 15 May 2012<\/b> -- Jasmine Buffet<\/i> is up and running:<\/p>\n
