What's next for 239 Broad St.?
-In recent years, we've known it as T Martooni's (versions one and two), Bistro 239, Bistro 239: On and Off Broad and, briefly, Bridges 239, the product of a still-born merger between Bistro's current owners and a homeless Cafe Luna. Just recently, Bridges added breakfast service. Last Sunday, owner/chef Lance Lombard was serving Art of Chocolate guests whiz-bang creations. But on Tuesday, a note went out to subscribers to the 239 newsletter, seeking investors. What looks like a final note went out Thursday, stating the business would close as of Monday if new capital doesn't materialize. (Click Bridges)

We've heard numerous plans for the former antique mall (Riverside Gourmet is a "temporary" occupant) and nearby, the two-plus year wait for Rome City Market goes on. Those delays have other potential projects in limbo as would-be owners wait to see the final tenant list of Rome City Market. Plus: The economy has chilled investment.
-Laredo's name gone: As reported last week, Laredo's at RiverWalk now bears the name of Las Palmas, the chain of Mexican restaurants that already has a shop in Rome in Midtown Crossing as well as Cartersville's Main Street Shopping Center.Will Rome be able to support two Las Palmas a few miles apart?
