Noble's negotiating

Rumors have swirled that Noble's is closing, but Jim Noble tells me that's not true: He's negotiating for a new location for the upscale, innovative restaurant in SouthPark/Myers Park environs that will seat 80-90, and is at work on the details. (The lease is up in summer on the current spot.) Also to come from the restaurateur: details on the new Rooster's uptown, his not-for-profit King's Kitchen and his new barbecue venture. Stay tuned.
