Bonny is on it as she usually is. I am sure that she is right too, in who she thinks will open there.
It doesn't just happen with a snap of the fingers. The building, the shell is there but it looks like a Fridays, it has to be remodeled to fit the new owners criteria. I say owner because it will be rented to the business that will run it as a restaurant. This usually means amassing the money, getting the loan for the business with all that entails, or if it is a chain, making the decision to open another location which too requires a lot of money.
Someone just doesn't turn up with a chef jacket and say. O.K. I'll take this on. I remember talking to the woman at the Lighthouse who was manager there for many years when the Morse's owned the restaurant.(They still own the building) She was saving for a long time to buy the business and finally was able to do so.
I am amazed sometimes at people saying as I read recently something close to this, "The Orange Blossom Restaurant was there when people in the area bought their homes and it should be reopened
at once."
