OMG! I used to work down the road and we used to go to lunch at that buffet/all-you-can-eat restaurant! It’s been closed since the pandemic. So it’s good to see that there’s going to be something in there soon. McDonald’s is across the street, and a lot of other restaurants nearby. It’s on 17th St.
