Reader Suzanne P. asked me about the status of Little Alex’s which is coming to 3987-B State Street (in Five Points Shopping Center), the former home of Fresco Cafe which moved to 23 East Canon Perdido Street. The Mexican eatery, which used to have a home for decades near Vons in Montecito, appears to be in the very earliest stages of renovation and a set of plans is on the counter near the front door. There are undoubtedly many months of work ahead and I would expect a summer or fall opening at the earliest.
