Well, of all this is going to end soon because restaurant owners confirmed earlier this week that the location will soon be closed citing economic factors. The same brand, however, maintains yet another location in the Roanoke valley and interested customers are invited to visit the second location at 4521 Melrose Ave. N.W. in Roanoke.
The closing is the latest in Del. Marie March’s, R-Floyd, offloading — or planned offloading — of properties across the region.
The legislator shut down Fatback Soul Shack, a sister restaurant of Due South in Christiansburg, citing economic factors. Similarly, March had previously put her Pulaski County property, the Big Red Barn, up for sale, which online records confirm she still owns through her company, Big Bear Properties LLC. However, this sparked a contentious land use dispute between March and Pulaski County officials, with the venue’s manager pointing fingers at the locality for instigating the sale.
On top of that, March is currently seeking buyers for another property – the Bear Dance Market & CBD Cafe – located on Roanoke St. in Christiansburg’s eastern end. The less than half-acre property is priced at $799,000 on realtor.com, which is more than double its assessed value of $229,200 as per Montgomery County’s property records.
According to recent reports, the Bear Dance business, which operates independently from the property it is housed in, has confirmed that it will remain open regardless of whether or not the building is sold. Meanwhile, it has been announced that Del. Wren Williams of Patrick County will be running against incumbent Republican lawmaker, Chris T. March, in the upcoming primary for the renumbered 47th House District. As the district has historically been a Republican stronghold, the winner of the primary will likely be viewed as the frontrunner for the general election scheduled for November 7.
