Haven't done one of these in a while.......
What's up with Your Story:
I was doing some errands this past Sunday when I noticed Your Story looked closed.
Didn't this place just open to a bit of buzz less than three months ago? You can check out Kirbie's post here.
So, what's the story with Your Story? Well, my sources tell me that they are closed permanently and that a KFC is opening in this spot....no, not "that" KFC, but a K(orean) F(ried) C(hicken) spot. I'm fairly certain that Eater will give us the scoop when it's ready to serve.
4403 Convoy St.
San Diego, CA 92111
Taisho taking a vacation:
At least that's what the sign and Taka-san told me. Closed June 14th - 19th. Reopening on June 20th.
Nazca Grill closes:
I saw this a couple of weeks ago.
Sad, but on my last visit a couple of months back, the lomo saltado was terrible and the place just seemed tired and worn.
4310 Genesee Ave
San Diego, CA 92117
As did this Jack-In-the-Box:
On the corner of Balboa and Convoy:
Here's hoping something good takes its place.
Here's what Soo had to say about the place a couple of months back.
7786 Balboa Ave
San Diego, CA 92111
Lastly....have you ever seen a more bored looking dog?
He's not impressed with what Whole Foods had to offer at all.....
Hope you're having a great week!
hope you guys get more tasty choices:)

I saw the closed Your Story too! I was so surprised but it seems like the place had a lot of issues from the start, with all their delays to open. It's too bad, but hopefully the KFC place will be good.

We do too Kat!
I think it was a much too ambitious project Kirbie. Hopefully the KFC place will be good.

I'm not surprised about that "trendy" dessert place not lasting. Bummer about Nazca Grill, they were pretty good when they first started.

Hi CC - What's kind of surprising is how quickly they closed; like in under three months?

The Burger King on Convoy closed a few months back too. Being replaced by a Starbucks tho. Hopefully the JBX turns into something more interesting.
First review of Your Story on "that review site" is 3/22. So yea didn't even last 3 months.

Bummer about the closures. I'm looking forward to trying a new KFC joint though.

Yeah, I saw that Junichi. Hopefully, we'll get something interesting in the former JIB location.
I'm kind of interested in that too Soo!
