Zio Carlo Progress


The former Gunn’s Cleaners building at College & Magnolia in the Near Southside is now under steady work in its conversion to Zio Carlo, the Italian brew pub which will be the building’s new tenant. Shown above is the west side of the building, where a cinder block addition has been demolished for what looks to be a garden dining area. Below, a view of the street facades – the Gunn’s signage hasn’t been replaced yet, but work on the building’s windows is underway, and the overgrown shrubs on the College frontage that constantly blocked the sidewalk have been removed at long last.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.

    I am so glad those crazy shrubs are gone. Their annialation is enough reason for me to go to Zio Carlo when they open to thank them.
