WBJ first reported back in July:
“Georgia Brown’s poised to close”
And it sounds like it actually happened yesterday. Lots of chatter online about Georgia Brown’s having closed. Their website and phone are still live but their social media hasn’t been updated since the end of June. Perhaps more tellingly, there are no longer any open reservation spots available:
For those unfamiliar and never got to try them in their prime, THERE WAS A TIME:
“Georgia Brown’s warmly opened its doors in 1993. Part of the visual appeal of the restaurant lends itself to the bronzed ceiling scroll, reminiscent of the grand oak trees that are outstretched like a lace border over Southern Streets. We also use the honey bee as an icon in our logo, designated The Georgia State Insect in 1975. This acknowledged the honeybee’s contribution to the state’s economy through honey production and aiding pollination of more than 50 Georgia crops. The honeybee is recognized as an official state symbol in seventeen states, primarily because honeybees play such an important role in agriculture and is an ICON of Georgia Brown’s.”
STAY TUNED.
