Veranda - Looks sad sitting there closed and empty
I read that the new Panera going into the Veranda building won't be opening until first quarter of 2011. That is too long to see the once-friendly and quaint Veranda sitting there dark and empty.
What could possibly take so long to get this prime venue operational?? A new village can be built in that amount of time!
The veranda with wicker chairs, ceiling fans and palms was such an attraction when we came for the Lifestyle Preview stay. Sitting there, watching people go by, was where we saw that this is a true hometown atmosphere.
I hope Panera keeps the outdoor portion furnished the same as it was--beckoning northerners and others with some relaxed, southern atmosphere.
