Seriously, I believe owning a restaurant is one of the most difficult businesses in the world. I was reading through the Villages Gourmet Club page the other day and noticed in the description of many restaurants when it came to location it would say things like, "it's in Colony Plaza, where Bob's used to be and before that it was Hong Kong take out, and before that...."

As to this place, I would have thought that TV would have bought it up quickly. But with all the talk in the last few days about where they might build next and what properties they own, they all seem to be east of Brownwood rather than west. Oh well, who knows.

I heard this evening that it has been purchased and will be an Irish Pub
