Liquidz progress ... Paul's?

The (by now) somewhat long and winding road for Liquidz Bar & Grill perhaps approaches a fruitful juncture, as the establishment has erected a Facebook page. It has a handful of revealing photos of the interior refit at 147-151 E. Main, and outlines a scheme for VIP cards that entices with mention of performances by "national" acts.

Meanwhile, folks on Twitter yesterday suggested that Paul's One World Cafe in the Bergman Building on Market has finished. I drove past yesterday at 3:30 p.m., and there were neither lights nor activity. Readers, do you have any information? If so, please post here, and withhold from Dan Coffey -- he's happier that way.

Polar Walk & Coolest Art Show in downtown NA next Saturday ... and Paul's One World Cafe open on Market.

Next Saturday (February 27) is the occasion of the long-awaited, frigid sequel to last summer's NA 1 Night Stand downtown pub crawl: Polar Walk.

As before, participants will be wandering downtown New Albany and dropping by those establishments that have signed onto the program, including *Bank Street Brewhouse, Studio's, Pastimes, Hitching Post, *Steinert's, *Wick's and *Connor's Place.

*That's four out of seven for the home brewing team. Not bad.

Wait, there's more: In conjunction with the Polar Walk, and serving as the walk's registration and starting point, will be The Coolest Art Show, held within the friendly confines of Dave Thrasher's Art Store on Market Street.

In other news: You may have heard that the street level retail space formerly occupied by the Market Street Fish House (now across the street, folded into Connor's Place) has a new tenant. The Tribune's Daniel Suddeath reports with the complete lowdown: Paul’s One World Café open.
