This little building at the corner of Chapman and Spring Garden Streets has undergone many changes over the last 13 years. From 1993- 2012, it was Bianca's, a little Italian restaurant with big flavor. It first opened in 1993 and Chef Lisa Carmella was known for altering the menu weekly. Perhaps naively, we thought it would remain Bianca's forever. The exterior was white with blue shutters and a circular, blue awning over the door.
When driving by the other day, we noticed the building was for rent with a sign indicating that it was "turn key" ready for a restaurant. It would seem that with Freeman's Pub, The Tasting Room, and other places to eat and drink nearby, this space has great potential. Also, UNCG and the Coliseum complex are right down the road. What kind of business/restaurant do you think would work well there? It looks like a wonderful opportunity for some young entrepreneur. For now, with this frigid winter air keeping people home, it looks rather desolate. However, there are times when this corner is hopping. We have eaten there and then walked down Chapman Street to an event at the Coliseum. We would love to see a new life for this space and will follow this corner with great interest.
Happy Wednesday and please stay warm. This has been a cold January in Greensboro. Temperatures are predicted to be between 13 and 28 today.
