NEW SPOT FOR PROPOSED HOMESTEAD REVIVAL
Former Jax eatery Homestead Restaurant has a new location for its proposed revival.
The new restaurant will now go in at 1253 Penman Rd. in the spot formerly occupied by Tomo Japanese Restaurant.
The restaurant had previously occupied the space now held by Taco Lu for over 60 years, before shutting its doors for good in 2010.
No word on when this new location, which was announced via Facebook, will open.
