There's a lot of construction underway on Duling Street in Fondren. A new restaurant, Saltine Oysters and Brew, is setting up shop in the old Duling school.
"We really want to celebrate the oyster," said Saltine owner Jesse Houston. "We're going to have varieties from all over the world -- the East Coast, West Coast. Of course, we're going to celebrate our Gulf Coast and all of the seafood and oysters that come out of there. We're going to get oysters from Canada, Japan and Europe."
The restaurant, which is slated to open in August, will also serve special beers from local breweries.
A few feet away, Duling Hall is getting a $50,000 renovation in the hope of bringing in more acts. The improvements include a new stage, kitchen, and repainting. A dressing room has also been added upstairs for performing artists.
