DOUG. sent in this shot of the spot where the original Red Robin sat, just across the University Bridge, adding:
GONE!!! I rode my bike by it yesterday, and I believe it was still standing. Today, it is no more. It’s just toppled wood siding, piled like a bottomless plate of fries.
(He sent this in a week or two ago, so sorry for the old news)
Yes, it’s been like that since at least September 2 when I first noticed it. According to this article, Pecos Pit BBQ is supposed to be moving in. I hope that is still the plan. http://seattle.eater.com/archives/2013/04/29/pecos-pit-to-take-over-original-red-robin-space.php
