There's a Goomba's at Loop 1604 and Kittyhawk in Universal City.
The old Pat's Place in Cibolo is going to be a new mexican restaurant.I think it's called El Sabristo? Anyhow, they are in Converse in the remodeled Dairy Queen.They are now expanding out here. New Orleans SoulFood Kitchen, which shared space with BG's on Main St.here in Schertz has moved to Aviation in Universal City.When they get it fixed up, it will be in the old Thai Thai place, across from Thai O Cha.It's a blue painted building,I'll have to check it out when New Orleans opens.Haven't tried Loretta's Finest in Schertz yet,located in the old Smoke Pit.

Well, that was fast. There are already signs up for what's going to replace it: a "Firkin and Bull" pub location, part of a chain of English-style pubs across the nation: The Firkin Group of Pubs. (http://www.firkinpubs.com/category.aspx?id=1 - broken link)

Actually, Firkin and Bull was in there before Blanco Cafe. Did not last too long, probably due to the sucess of the Lion and Rose pubs.

That location has not had a sucessful tenant since the original Boccone's.

So, most likely the signs were just there, hidden behind, when they took down the Blanco Cafe signs, then.

Yes, from what I saw from the outside and inside. Blanco Cafe did very little in the way of renovationg. Good thing.

What happened to Boccone's? I thought they were pretty successful.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it looks like a Longhorn Steakhouse is going in at the old Benagins across from North Star Mall on San Pedro.

There's a Ruby Tuesday opening up near the intersection of I10 and Wurzbach. It'll be located across from Mama Margies and China Sea. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.
