New Restaurants

If things go well, downtown should see a couple of new restaurants open up within the next month or so (not counting Cristado's, which is already running at least 2 months behind the last projected opening date), both on South Illinois.  Kelly's plans to open in the space previously occupied by the late lamented Gumby's (at least, lamented by those who favor realllllllly cheap pizza and breadsticks)  and will offer stuffed potato pancakes.  They already have at least one location in central Illinois, which does quite well from what I hear.

The other place, Evelyn's, plans to open in the space formerly occupied by Express Buritto/La Bamba's and Jimmy Johns and will offer Cajun influenced "comfort food".  Blackened  macaroni and cheese, anyone?
