It's time

Well the new digs are done!  Finally!  Will show you pics in a few.  Now mind you these photos were taken before the finish clean up so most of the debris is gone.  We were going to wait until the first to open but I gotta be honest with you.  First, the new digs are just so WAY cool we don't want to wait another day to get in!  Second, the old plaza has DIED!  Ever since Sweetbay went belly up the flow of traffic has screeched to a halt!  And it's just so depressing!  They boarded up and shutter the place and it makes the whole place look like downtown Detroit!  (no offence to anyone from Motor City!) No one wants to come to the ghost town.  And it may seem petty, but the other shops especially the restaurants are feeling the pitch as the portions they originally served have shrunk (yes...I know...I could do with some smaller portions...but it's the principle of the thing!) but the prices have not!  And we are getting more calls from folks who have seen the sign at the new shop we figured what the heck!  So tomorrow we load up the last remaining things and finish our day out up there!  Don't be shy to visit as we will be open for business!  Now I'll take a moment for posterity and say a few thanks!  To my wife, thanks for the assists, the understanding of the long hours, the gift of the flat screen TV for when I'm working, and the excellent job of cleaning up after me!  To Terry, for the use of the truck for the last three weeks!  To Chip for the morale support, referrals and offer of his truck, and the awesome Logo design from so long ago! To my Dad for hauling us around on the original supply run and the good suggestions for floor plans.  To Kaleb and Elijah for the late night heavy lifting and grunt work, and for Elijah picking up the slack around the house when both Momma and dad were needed at the shop(s).  And to the little guys for their organized effort moving ALL those wheels!! And last but not least to all the awesome folks who have made this little enterprise a success over the last 6 years!  Here's to 60 more (plus!)
So here are the fruits of all our labors!
Enjoy!
(and PLEASE don't make this the only time you see it!)
