Nice report, IFTowner. Did they give you a starting day for construction? When should we be prepared for blast off of that old awful building?
And, did someone let you in on the big news of the awesome restaurant coming to I.F. while you were over at McNeil? I suspect we'll hear on Monday in Shop Talk.
You know, IF Guy, I hadn't even thought about a Hard Rock. It is an interesting thought. I haven't been to one in a while. I kind of can't see the fit for T.C. - Renaissance yes, SRL- especially by a convention center - yes, but not T.C.
It is kind of amusing to think of those 10 restaurant pads you and I counted. One has already been started into a different project, so that leaves 9. Elsewhere, someone else suggested a Macaroni Grill. That honestly would be a good fit for downtown, although not what I would consider a huge restaurant announcement, the way Lorin Walker made it sound.
I guess we'll all be smarter next week and know what new food is headed our way.
Have any of you almost seen a pattern here? The City of I.F., or Grow Idaho Falls etc. announce a new business or major increase in jobs, then one of the Walkers tells us about one project they are building. I swear this has happened in this sequence before. Can you remember or what do you recall prior to other McNeil announcements?
