The rumors have been swirling for months but it's now official: the deal has been finalized for the third Pi location, Pi Cubed, to move into a currently-occupied corner location in the CWE, near Chris Sommers' and Frank Uible's just-announced and under-construction new bar, tentatively called "c/d bar," or "c/d by Pi," as in "let's go to that cd bar." The backstory of the name? It's that "pi" thing again...c/d is the mathematical formula (circumference/diameter) that equals the numerical constant, pi. (If this gets any more complicated, I'm gonna need a geometry primer.)
It's becoming a full-time job just following Sommers, but here is his "Coming Soon" schedule: Pi Squared is slated to open in Kirkwood in September, c/d should open in November, and Pi Cubed will open when the current tenant vacates, which, worst case scenario is January of 2011 but chances are it will be much sooner...mathematical gods willing. -- George Mahe
