A couple weeks ago, we told you about plans for a new restaurant at the southeast corner of 20th & Washington, but we didn't have any details. The other day, Michael Klein broke the news that Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, a Memphis-based and apparently very awesome restaurant chain, was the potential tenant. And many people were glad.
But in order for this thing to happen, the operators of the franchise must get approval from the ZBA. And before that happens, they need to present their project to the community. That's happening tonight, as they present plans at 6:30pm at 1444 Point Breeze Ave., at the monthly South Philadelphia HOMES zoning meeting. Other items are on the agenda, but they wouldn't tell us what. But even if it's just for the new restaurant, it's worth showing up and voicing your support. This would be a clutch addition to Point Breeze and Washington Avenue, but if history is any indication some people will probably oppose it.
So show your face and say yes to Gus at 20th & Washington!
See you there?
