Re: Fox 25 Report on Sage Market and Paralogia
Well Don, that's more pressure you're putting on me, but here goes...
I saw the Smiths (owners of Sage) at last night's book signing. By the way, I know I've said it before, but let me repeat, I can't recall meeting two more genuinely nice people. Anyway, they're looking at being open next month. But don't get too surprised if they run into the same final licencing and permit delays that greet almost every new restaurant (there is a cafe with the market). I'm increasingly amazed by just how sophisticated an operation appears to be in the working with Sage. If someone had told me a year ago this sort of market and cafe would be opening in Deep Deuce or anywhere downtown, I would have been very, very, very skeptical. Fortunately for me, I love to be proven wrong in such instances.
As for the two to be announced ... um, yeah, Jim Cowan's right on that one, except if he's referring to what I think he's referring to, they've not been announced because the deals aren't done.
We could have said at one time that there was also a Planet Hollywood yet to be announced, a Dick Clark's American Bandstand Cafe yet to be announced and a downtown Wal-Mart yet to be announced.
(Yes, there really was such a prospect at one time).
