This is the far southern end of West Avenue, an 8-mile boomerang of a road on the Northwest Side that takes flight at Fredericksburg Road near the H-E-B, brushes the Medical Center to the west and slices through Castle Hills on its way to a crash landing at Bitters Road.and it’s starting to feel like I could tell the story of West Avenue not by the restaurants that remain but by the ones no longer here.

But by the time he called, the lease was gone, snatched up by a restaurant with — and I’m not making this up — a Wizard of Oz theme.One year. That’s all it took to come back on the market.
