The owner of 26 S. Main, next door to The Peanut Shop, wants to renovate the three-story building to have ground floor commercial space, two to four apartments above, and a bar\/tavern in the basement. Estimated completion goal is February.<\/p>\n<p>Bar\/tavern in the basement?! Bardog would no longer be the closest bar to my front door!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a proposal to renovate the building at the southeast corner at Main and Union, vacant as long as I have lived Downtown, to attract a commercial tenant. Great news. Main and Union is one of Memphis&#8217; premier intersections and having thriving businesses on all four corners would be great for Downtown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/message\/uk3hw\/65fv39\">Women in yoga pants at the Memphis Farmers Market are HOT!
