*The Hub* : Pat Nagle's New Stadium Pizza Restaurant
Ed's Diner reports that Pat Nagles new pizza diner will be named "The Hub."
Many suggestions were made by bloggers in a fenzy of interest on Ed's Diner blog:
Here was the list of blogger suggestions.The name of Pat Nagle's new restaurant is The Hub.
The name comes from an Ed's Diner reader, mattnewport, who, coincidentally, is a member of the Harmon Bike Club. After hearing that Nagle wanted to open a neighborhood breakfast/pizza/micro-brew joint with a sporty, Northwesty air within walking distance of Wright Park, mattnewport suggested here that the name be Wright's Hub.
"It fits," Nagle said of The Hub. "It's a gathering place. It's the shape of a bicycle tire. It's the shape of pizza.
The Hub will be a "breakfast/pizza/micro-brew joint with a sporty, Northwesty air." Pat is set on trying to have the place open by St. Patrick's Day. I am sure it will be packed. Good luck Pat. Keep us updated. We can't wait.
Commentary
Tacomans are generally disappointed that the Mecca Speakeasy did not go through. Yet, I have no doubt that they will pack The Hub. The only mystery that remains is whether Pat Nagle's realtor business partner Carole Holder will bake her Tacoma famous Apple Dumplings for us.

Yep. They are in alot of ways. Alot of people don't realize that Pat is a Realtot outside of the Harmon. Speaking of restaurants BellCaptain, Hotel Murano is going to likely get two more soon. Any idea what they will be named or what kind of restaurants they will be? |
