No. But I can tell you with extreme confidence who we will hear from.

I say it will be rented out when they find a good business who wants to sign the lease and if that doesn't happen it will be converted to something else.

Loved the food there when the previous operator had it. Always a great dinner and breakfast. Miss it a lot! May be a rumor but I heard the developers had friends that wanted it so they just booted the last operator out so their friends could get in. Things like that have happened before so I don't ind it hard t believe. But I know the previous operator and he was a good guy.

Could you please check with the source of your rumor and let us know why it is still closed, and when the Developers friends will be reopening? :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

a friend who lives nearby and goes past every day said they have begun 'gutting'. A step in the right direction.

I also agree with deltaguy; don't think they'll change the venue much.

Just wonder something related to the restaurant closing. Has this had any impact on the number of rounds of golf played on the championship course?? Many golfers do like to "gather" for a cool drink and/or sandwich following a round of golf.

I was told that City Fire would be opening there - probably just a rumor.

Going to be a "Hooters"---- I dont think employment is open to tv residents.

:1rotfl: Very funny! However, the closing isn't "funny" to some who live on the Historical side of TV. We have friends in Silver Lake and they believe the closing could effect home values. I don't know about that but certainly can't help.

I would think the closing would not be good for the golf course business. First the restaurant closing and then the wall erected---makes you wonder, no? What's next for this area of TV? Hopefully, some good news on the reopening of The country club restaurant.

The Golf course is soon to be closed for 6 months for rehab work, and it is assumed that no leasee in his right mind would open before that's done.

Mulligan----I didn't know that and explains things. If they are spending $$$$$ to rehab the Golf Course you can bet the restaurant will reopen. Thanks for the information. :ho:
