Since I only live a block away, I am always rooting for something interesting to occupy the quaint yet troubled space at 12th and Denny. In my four-year tenure in the area, I’ve seen a coffee shop, a pizza place, a pizza/burrito place, and a burrito place. I do like the idea that there will be booze, and they are sprucing up this very tiny space inside/out. And although the only word associated with an eating/drinking establishment that makes me cringe more than fusion is gastropub, I’d like to see this tiny little space succeed. A mildly indifferent Google search could find no further information about this place or its owner; does anyone have any further information about Esmeralda?
