El Guapo is the new "Soundbites Cafe"

The sound bites guy bought El Guapo (which is next to the current Sound Bites). I guess he plans on turning El Guapo into the new "Sound Bites Cafe". I don't know any other details other than that. And I only know because there is a sign outside.

It also looks like Urban Gourmet is finally in construction mode. Though I don't consider it as big of a deal anymore, now that I know that City Slickers pizza is the same thing.

I wonder if the new space will help eliminate the Line of Doom I see outside of Soundbites every morning...

THIS IS A MOST UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE AS I HAD YET TO VISIT, OWING TO MY BUSY MUSTACHE CONVENTION SCHEDULE

Well, SoundBites has needed a bigger space for a long time. This could be a good thing.

Gee, I live next door to the guy who owns Ball Square. :-/

El Guapo came with a liquor license, I believe, so that should make the Soundbites Cafe a little different from the old Soundbites.

Hopefully with more space they'll be less jerkish about wanting to actually eat your food there.

Geez. He owns the entire square. Am I the only who doesn't see this as a good thing?

Oh, gross. One *less* reason for me to visit Ball Square. I will never patronize businesses that are rude to customers.

what about saturday night karaoke at el guapo? and delicious margaritas and chips & salsa? El Guapo wasn't the best food in the world, but it was handy for last minute weekend plans.

It's too bad that El Guapo is closing, if only because it was owned by a very nice local family, and they spent so much money to refurbish the place before opening, and that was just about 2 years ago. I wonder why they sold? Victor's has great food, so perhaps Victor will use the space to enlarge his own place. They desperately need more space. ALso, I'm not sure that the liquor license is automatically transferred to the new owner. If so, they would lose all control over the types of establishments with a liquor license.

Yasser says Thursday!

This morning, Yasser said that as long as the electrician comes, he's planning to open the new Sound Bites this Thursday morning. Woo hoo!
