What will be the fate of Santiago building?
Does anyone know of plans for the Santiago restaurant that closed down last Spring? First we heard that it would be another rec center, then we heard that a Hooters might be going in there. It doesn't appear that any work at all is underway. Any news??

They said in the Villages Voice yesterday there are no plans yet. I have heard there are still some legal issues with the previous owners. I don't know.

El Santiago Club
The rumor that "Hooters" was going into the El Santiago Club was a joke started by the starters and ambassadors for the El Santiago and El Diablo executive courses. The rest of the joke is: They are going to hire older women and call it "Flappers" or "Thirty Eight Longs".

Played El Diablo this PM and noticed a number of commercial vehicles around the former El Santiago Club. Curiosity got he best of me so I inquired of a nice gentleman who seemed to be in charge.
He said they are removing all of the kitchen equipment and turning off all utilities "to keep it safe". He also said he does a quite a few of these dismantling jobs and the equipment they were removing was top quality and in excellent condition. Of course I asked him if he knew what they were going to do with the building but he didn't. Like a lot of us, he couldn't understand why it couldn't make it as a restaurant. |

"Who needs a neighborhood resturant frequented by at least a 150 people a day when 25 at the most might shoot pool." There was a long term reason that only the dinky little "rec center" near the family pool was orginally built. Walgreen Drug stores and pool halls, we have more than enough of them around TV.

 It was a nice setting looking out over the water but that was the only redeeming feature of the place. I got tired of leaving there with a headache. Maybe they will turn it into a daycare facility. I heard today that someone in Hadley has very young grandchildren living with them.....they added on to the house to accommodate them. I am confused as I could have sworn this was a retirement community. I must have missed the announcement that told us we could bring our young grandkids here to live. Whoops, I guess this should be another thread.
