An Argentinian restaurant called Taste of Tango is moving into a vacant building along East Washington Street
downtown. The new owner, local real estate broker Fabricio Perez, has begun renovations and hopes to open the 2,400-square-foot
restaurant by the end of July. It will serve Argentinian food, which he described as a mix between Italian, Greek and Spanish.
He also hopes to open a bar on the building's second floor, offices on the third and a condo for himself on the fourth. The
building at 36 E. Washington St. was constructed in 1882 and was once home to a Greek restaurant but has been empty for at
least a year. Perez hopes to capitalize on a desire for more diverse dining options in the city. "If we do something different,
it should attract people." He would not say how much he plans to spend on renovations.

Still, I'm excited for some more restaurant variety in downtown and particularly for that run-down section of Washington St.
