Why is the former County Cork building on SW corner of Drake and Redwing fenced off?

A great question. With all the restaurants going in and out over the years, you'd think pizzas or burgers were on the way.

As the County Cork for more than 20 years, it was well known for its St. Patrick's Day festivities. After that it became Tailgate Tommy's for a time and the The Passport.

But in this case, history is no indicator of what will happen next.

Back in April, Miramont Family Medicine, in partnership with Palmer Properties LLC, has purchased the long-vacant County Cork restaurant, 313 Drake Road, for its fifth location. They are currently working on their new facility.

There are plenty of new restaurants on the way. This location, however, is not one of them.
