Uptown Dallas: West Village Retail

2 recent closings in the West Village: Honest Taco (Old Taco Diner spot) and Hugos Invitados (Old Mi Cocina spot). Both were there only about a year? Also noticed the Primos MX Kitchen down the street is permanently closed and being replaced by a Mediterranean spot. Wow. https://dallas.culturemap.co...

I saw where Coal Vines on Cedar Springs is permanently closed. (Not sure how long ago this happened) . Thats a shame. I havent been there in awhile, but the food/service was alway good. The never ending re-do/construction of that stretch of Maple probably didnt help things.
