Elliston Place Soda Shop Survives.

Ever since I moved to Nashville in 2002 I've wanted to eat at the Elliston Place Soda Shop, which has been in existence for seven decades, but I never have.Sherry said she's eaten there as a child, but hasn't in recent memory.This week the Tennessean reported that the restaurant would close its doors today because of a rent increase.This inflamed Nashvillians, who flocked to the business for one last meal.This apparently caused both landlord and tenant to reconsider their positions, and both made concessions that resulted in a five-year lease, with options for two additional five-years terms.The lawyer in me is pleased when an impa*se like this can be negotiated to resolution, and the foodie in me will be sure to have a hamburger at Elliston Place the next time I visit Nashville.
