Question Southern Alternative to Katie Belles??

Just wondered whether there will be an attempt to establish a place similar to Katie Belles on the southern end of the community? Or, is that already in the plans?

I heard from a very unreliable source that it will be called Hernando's Hideaway and will be in the basement of the sales center at Brownwood.

KAty Belles was a marketing tool used as TV forged across 466 and points South.

There is no more such need as TV approaches buildout.

Hence I would say there is little or no interest on the part of the developer to do another Katy Bell type establishment.

I think Hernando's Hideaway stands a much better chance!

Brownwood would be a perfect location for another Katie Belle type venue, only this time with a gourmet restaurant and a state of the art sound system.

Also, another Church on the Square entertainment center is badly needed at that end of town, as the one being remodeled will only seat about 1000 people.

These are two items to mention on the resident's survey next year.

I want that too.
The Church on the Square had fantastic entertainment that was one hour long and very inexpensive. Katie Belles layout reminds me of The Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue with space for dancing.

Did the Church lose money?
Does Katie Belle break even?

Is there enough of us at this end of town to support two new like establishments?

There was a time when it was the place to bring your visitors to eat. Then they chopped it up and put Chico's in what was the dining room and then they added Cattle Baron's and it went downhill.

I miss the old Katie Belles.
