InDecatur points out that Mick’s, the small local chain across the street from the square, has gone dark and has been closed for a while now.

I must be a little behind the ball on this one. I swear we’ve been there in the past month or so. I wonder whether this is the fate of the whole chain, which now consists of of two locations on Peachtree, or if the Decatur location was never busy enough?

As David points out, this prime real estate is now up for grabs. I wonder who will move in.

UPDATE: December’s Decatur Focus notes that all locations of Mick’s closed abruptly in November due to financial problems.

According to Creative Loafing, the worldly Pangaea is expanding from West Midtown to the east side of Decatur. This top-rated, Best of Citysearch sandwich shop is moving in on Ponce to the east of Sam’s Crossing (2752 E. Ponce de Leon Ave). Check out the menu here.

This is a big jump for Decatur development. Trendy restaurants moving east of DeKalb Industrial? Watch out Pin-Ups! Redevelopment is on the doorstep!

Update:  David over at in Decatur headed over to the site this morning and reported that Pangaea is moving into the old METRO auto repair building/garage.  Renovations are already underway.
