Something finally happening at 17th and Shotwell
The perpetually vacant storefront in the ODC Theater building at 17th and Shotwell finally has signs of an impending tenant. As you may recall, this space was briefly home to a coffee cart called Pronto which was run by the Bar Bambino people. They claimed they were going to build it out into a full…
