This is way off the mark. I personally know a very successful restauranteur who wanted that space and I have had others tell me there was more than one who proposed taking it over. The Villages had other plans for this space and they didn't want to invest the money to repair the facility back to working order so they made it impossible for anyone to take it over The previous operation was not supported because the food and service were both bad and people refused to go there anymore, which is the way a horrible restaurant should be treated.
