Thai Garden appears to have gone out of business. I didn’t see the “For Lease” until today. I’m not sure whether they closed just this week or if it happened a while ago and I hadn’t noticed. It’s disappointing to lose another longtime Tate Street business. Thai Garden had been in business for 22 or 23 years, I think. It apparently changed owners in 2014. A review on Yelp says the original owners now run the Thai Garden Express restaurant on Aycock Street across from UNCG and also have a place in the Elliott University Center food court.
As of 11 a.m., streets in College Hill are passable but risky. There is a little traffic out there, particularly on Tate and Spring Garden.
