There was a bit of a dust up over the original name given to an upcoming 18th and Vine District restaurant. I guess the name "Empty" would have been too descriptive.
Anyway, the Star reports the the owner "naming her restaurant Strange Frut, after a Billie Holiday tune that dealt with lynching in the South, caused a public outcry. As a result, her new venue will be known as Harper's."
Considering that the place is going to solely serve organic food, I'm guessing that this new venture will only be using the name for about 4 months. Finally, in a story that involves someone upset about a name and organic food I guess it probably should have been titled "The bland leading the bland." Bleh.
it's STILL coming?
ReplyDeleteit would be weird to eat something that calls to mind bodies swaying in the breeze. . .left to rot, etc.
whatever. one drives by and thinks that "harper's" sign is just a remnant from the movie shoot, like other faux storefronts.
