The former Comfy Cow location will become a bar, but we have no further details.

Revive Property Management LLC is the building owner -- that's Lincoln Ogden, whose Compass Project Management had/has an office upstairs at the former Comfy Cow, which closed earlier this year.

If the Green Mouse's research is correct, NA Main Street LLC is a company formed to operate a bar in this space. We're told Ogden is purchasing this license for use by the future tenants: "some guys from Louisville."

If nothing else, the new operators should be flush with refrigeration equipment in an ex-ice cream shop. Their local board hearing is Tuesday, July 3.

If they decide to call it a speakeasy, there'll be tantrums aplenty. Apart from this, welcome to New Albany -- whoever you are.

Thanks for the tip, T.

On Comfy Cow in downtown New Albany.

Ian "Exchange" Hall has been getting much well-deserved press for the Comfy Cow renovation and prospective opening later this year, and amid this crappiest of recent winters, other food & drink start-ups have moved forward: Bread and Breakfast, Muscle Monkey and Primo's spring (please, soon) to mind.

Entrepreneurs continue to invest ... and the streets still run one way, defeating efforts to enhance walkability between the residential areas we have and the attractions downtown.

As I see Lincoln Ogden's crew shaping the building this winter, I'm thinking back to March of 2013, when Steve Resch was conducting a sidewalk yard sale, cleaning out the detritus of ages ... including an increasingly rare, old-school "golden gate" beer keg.

By the way, how's New Albany's downtown indie economic development augmentation plan coming?

(pins drop ... crickets chirp ... somewhere, an industrial park occupant is fluffed)
