I think it was built for Blockbuster but I could be wrong. I remember the Volkswagen dealership. Think it was Adams? Had the beetle up on the pole and Fabre’s worked there then bought it. I also remember originally the dealership was on Stanford across from BR Beach. There was a Phil A Sack or Stop N Go next to it. Billy Cannon buried some money there.

It was Photon before in the early 80s before Blockbuster even existed.

so basically Dragos

I won’t be that harsh, the oysters are obviously great. However the rest of the food is too expensive for the quality.

I remember going to Photon as a kid but I don't remember where it was. For some reason I thought it was on Sherwood.

There are a lot of people on here confusing where this is being planned. Next to Chili's, on the Hobby Lobby side of the interstate, NOT where the Ruby Tuesday used to be that was torn down, in the strip that Melting Pot, Firehouse Subs, etc. is.

If I want oysters in the college drive area, I'd still hit up the Mansurs bar area, Drago's or not.
