741 Franklin?

This has to be either a "if we build it they will come" project for some developer, or the best kept secret on the avenue. Do we really not know what's going on here, on the corner across the street from Chavella's?

Hmmm.

Do you mean 743? That is the former site of 3-D's:

743 Franklin has got to be the slowest, most disorganized re-branding and reopening we have seen in quite sometime.

3-Ds has literally been vacant for three years and under (very slow) construction for the last year.

It is to open as Island Cz Cafe, and will feature a beer and wine lic and 40 seats, but the pace of the renovations does not make me believe this is being done by someone with their act together.

Right, that's what I meant. It's next to 739 so I assumed it was 743.

Island Cz? Peculiar name. It looks like a high-end reno, so I wouldn't expect it to be so screwy.

Actually, it seems the name is "Island CV Cafe". Either I (or my source) made a typo originally.

Why not maybe money is the issue. And there is no need for a rush to open there is so many other new ideas popping up on Franklin ave example the coffee shops! Lol
