Plans 86'ed for El Scorpion Design District, Q South Beach

After noticing a "For Rent" sign over the ex El Scorpion space on Washington Ave., which was to undergo a metamorphism into Q American Barbeque , we contacted the authorities to see what was up. And the answer, apparently, is nothing. Says a member of the Chodorow camp, "After introducing the Pacific Time location to our design and construction team it was determined that the location wasn't the right fit for our El Scorpion concept. We are considering other locations for our joint venture project." There's also a "For Rent" sign in the old Pacific Time space. In other words, there's no Q heading to South Beach and no El Scorpion slithering into the Design District. Stay tuned. [EaterWire]
