Looks like FM Fats was on to something back in late January!  The March issue of the Decatur Focus reports…

If you like peanut butter in your smoothies, then you’re in luck too. Smoothie King is opening a location at The Artisan in the former Chocolate Bar space.

Also, they report a new yoga studio opening in the iconic two-story brick commercial building at 302 East Howard…

Solstice, a yoga and pilates studio, will open this spring at 302 E. Howard Ave. The studio will offer yoga, pilates, barre, kids’ classes, on-site childcare, parenting resourc- es, workshops, and support groups.

Rus writes in…

Yesterday it was officially announced at The Artisan homeowners meeting (by HOA president Nan Pratt) that the Tossed/Countrywide space is going to soon be a Kaiser Permanente clinic.

We had heard rumors of this a couple months back, but had yet to receive confirmation.

We will all have our personal reactions about what SHOULD have gone there, but I don’t think anyone will argue that it’s reassuring to see some of the most expensive commercial spaces in the city still finding tenants.

UPDATE: Asst. City Manager Lyn Menne gives a few more details in the comments section…

The new office will include exam and procedure rooms, physician offices, a laboratory and a pharmacy. It will initially offer internal medicine and pediatrics for Kaiser Permanente members and additional specialties may be added. Kaiser Permanente will invest about $1.5 million in construction, furniture, equipment and IT in the property and expect to open the center in downtown Decatur in the fourth quarter of 2009.
