The second (at last) Frida’s location has closed up shop. Originally a spinoff of La Cocina de Frida in Andersonville, which shuttered in 2011, ownership shuttered the Southport location this week too. Ownership cites high rent as reasoning for closing the Frida Kahlo-inspired Mexican eatery near The Music Box. [Southport Corridor News & Events]
