If the sources cared, they wouldn't have told you...

...and if you weren't prepared to substantiate your story, why post it here to begin with?

Sometimes, I just don't get it...

Fully agree.

Getting a little tired of "I heard a rumor"............stories.

Perhaps they don't even know TOTV exists, Bill.

Now my feelings are hurt....... Jack I'm sorry your tired ,Mem why do I need to substantiate something I hear?? And Bill they do definitely read TOTV. I knew Cane Garden was going public.......a rumor?? Just things I hear, Lighten up folks, we're all friends. If there is a problem have the moderator disallow all " rumors"

You first posted in October of 2011 that Cane was going private and that the lessees of Bonifay would acquire it. Happened more than a year later with other lessees. Lighthouse was another rumor you posted, except many of the regulars knew about that months before you apparently did. So, we'll just have wait for your latest to happen, or not happen.

Like I said, lighten up friends, maybe " rumor " was the wrong term. I should have said " Interesting conversation I had with Village restaurant people today". This isn't hearsay over the bar but a conversation with people that would would be in a position to know that's all. So if your not interest in this type of info don't read the blog, simple, some people may find it interesting,some may not.
Do you really wan't to drag this into something bigger than it is???? Not me.

Heard some other interesting restaurant tidbits tonight but I'll let you guy's get some rest

Perhaps it's as simple as the franchise owner can't make enough profit at that location, and the lease is about to expire.

Hope that if they're 'on their way out', it's just to a different location as we've been by it several times and just never stopped in. They always looked busy.

From a former employee working at another establishment.......Fridays had to pay 75% of its profits to Morse and the owner of Bonifay is putting a Brazilian steak house in there.
