Surfas returns
Good news for fans of home and commercial cooking equipment: Surfas is almost back. The 80-year-old retail store moved out of its Culver City location last year after the land was bought from underneath them, and for a time it was unclear just where the new store would end up. Now a tipster says it’s landing at Washington and Third Avenue in Arlington Heights, due east from their previous location.
Signage is going up now and, per the company’s own Instagram account, store shelves are being stocked up fully. Surfas hasn’t confirmed the location publicly, but says they should be ready for an unveiling in the coming days. And don’t worry, there are plans to bring back the Surfas Cafe, complete with patio space and shade trees.
Hotel time
Downtown is in line for yet another hotel, according to The Hub. The project comes from Mexico’s Grupa Habita, and lands at Alameda and Seaton, with four stories, a rooftop bar, ground-floor restaurant, and more. The project pushes right up against greater Skid Row, and could come online by 2019.
