I do have local folks who want to invest because they want to keep a restaurant in that space. I'm pushing right now to make sure people know its zoned Historic MultiUse which means, commercial, residential or shared use. If this is something you're really serious about come on over for a visit. BTW, I'll be in PHX Jan 9-11 for vacation and can talk then. We're going to be putting it out in ads nationally pretty soon.

Any more news about where you might land?  I'm working on tentative plans for next big road trip...

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

Congratulations, gfron1!

 

Hadn't been to your website before and I am laughing my head off (not at the top part - that agenda for your last week sounds wonderful - just don't tire yourself out too much) - but at the very bottom of the page where it says .. Checking to see if you are human. 1+1=? I thought about it for a minute (since I am used to more complicated 'captchas' ... this seemed a bit too simple ... there must be a catch :) ) and then realized I can think of more than one answer to that question these days - as I am sure someone who just found themselves pregnant could, or anyone who is taking Common Core math could.

 

Luckily I also know the 'traditional' answer. I just wish I was going to be close by that week so I could make a reservation and participate in the fun as you say your goodbyes to your customers and community, and they in turn, I hope, praise you profusely as you so deserve.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I'll bet your staff are even sorrier.  At any rate, congratulations!

Actually all of my staff have been with me for a long time now and we're all ready for a break. One is heading off to be with her boyfriend at college. One is preparing to move when her boyfriend graduates and the other is just moving to a new job. All are very well trained at this point and can work where they want :)

As everyone knows by now Saturday was our last day. Fun for many reasons including a bit of national media working on a piece for my next place, and plenty of cookbook pre-sales. I'll sure miss this little town, but can't wait to test my mettle in a larger market. Here's me at my final toast!
