The renaissance for N. King Drive on the city's near north side continues with plans for two new developments from local restauranteur Karl Kopp (best known for his Kopp's Frozen Custard outlets, as well as Elsa's on the Park). The plans call for rehabilitating two vacant buildings into two upscale restaurants/bars. Up until this point, the eating establishements that have opened up as a result of ongoing revitalization in the area have only been fast food or casual sit-down places.
