Stir Crazy Asian Grille is no longer in its Town Brookhaven location.

We're not sure what happened, other than the fact that we were driving through the development this past weekend and saw Po the Kung Fu Panda waving at passersby from a darkened window.

Stir Crazy joins Slacks as another restaurant location that has come and gone from Town Brookhaven. So we ask you: what sort of business or establishment should go into this location?

What should go into Stir Crazy's former location in Town Brookhaven? Tell us in the comments.

Mediterranean Grill! You know, the one they have in Decatur. It has the best baklava, the best falafel and the best Mediterranean lunch special in the whole city, and at great prices. The current gyro place in Town Brookhaven has 'blah' quality food at a 30% premium to Mediterranean Grill. Let's give it some competition!

No more restaurants - Town Brookhaven is saturated with eating establishments and more will probably go. It needs more retail but the traffic for retail is weak.

I agree, more variety is needed in TB

A REAL coffee shop!! There is not ONE good local neighborhood coffee shop anymore in all of Brookhaven or Buckhead since The Library Coffee Co. (which was extremely successful) closed its doors because the owner moved to another state. Every neighborhood should have at least one of these unique places- not only chains like Starbucks and Caribou-- it's not the same. But a place that is local and suits the neighborhood where people can become 'regulars' and comfortably linger and work or just enjoy life and conversation with friends over that perfect cappuccino with indoor and outdoor sidewalk seating to daydream and people-watch.

Absolutely!! The more coffee shops the better. I hate that The Library is gone.

I agree. An independent coffee shop like The Library was would be most welcome. I do like that indoor/outdoor bar feature there though. They could incorporate that with a coffee shop.

It's closing was quite unexpected and sudden.

Even, I believe, to its owner.

I'm sure you would think so particularly with variations of personnel and technologies available by such companies as this one existing:

"The issues with video surveillance is similar...The issue is not whether the surveillance is sufficiently effective to bother doing and whether there are safeguards to prevent abuse. Most of us who drive on interstate highways, take trains or subways, use airports, or visit banks, grocery stores, or shopping malls are subject to video surveillance. Cameras are everywhere...[No "safeguards"] from looking at certain zones, such as [even] looking through the windows of private homes...Security measures and technologies are not inherently good or evil; it is how they are applied.." ----Arthur A. Clarke; "Your Government Failed You;" 2008

You do realize that the setup has a huge bar, with garage door windows that open up to a patio....Never saw a coffee shop that has that kind of setup and why renovate the whole thing... They are building a huge parking deck at the end by the movie theater so retail could work since the parking situation is being corrected. As for the resturants, everytime I go in one, they are packed....

Maybe not at the old "stir crazy" but there are smaller empty shops that could be a great independent bagel and coffee shop.....Einstein just doesn't cut it. Sick of the franchise places. Have no idea regarding the commercial feasibility....I mean how many cups of coffee and bagels does one have to sell just to cover the rent and utility nut?
