Gloria Martin, owner of Sixth Avenue’s Southern Kitchen, has good news for neighbors in the Fern Hill neighborhood. She plans to open a café concept there, also called Southern Kitchen, sometime in the spring.
She is purchasing the small house that formerly operated as the Fern Hill Coffee Shop (it closed in November) at 8310 S. Park Ave. Her interest in the building was because of the yard and its homey appeal, among other things. “I want to grow herbs there in the garden,” she said on the phone just a few minutes ago. Her love of the house, and its architecture, and the small Park Avenue neighborhood is evident. She believes her cafe will be a good addition to what's already there.
“It’s the cutest little neighborhood. I just love it. It looks like a little downtown,” she said.
