re: FYI Dingos Closed

Daily Report just said they plan to open for dinner Friday.

Do they have so much as a sign up?

I still don't see how that is going to work .. the kitchen is tiny over there and the old dining room is now the weight room ..

Yeah .. It's a nice place basically, when the Shenandoah CC was sold to David Waltermath he developed the front and back 9s on the golf course for residential housing and he sold the clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis courts to the people that created the Southern Oaks Athletic Club .. But they turned the dining area into a gym basically .. There was a bar with about 6 tables ajacent to it .. I just can't figure out how this will fit .. No way they can serve the full menu .. I just don't see it ...

It is located on Shenandoah Avenue about a block off of Jones Creek ...

Is this just a private club still, or will it be open to the public?

I've always thought BR could use some true NEIGHBORHOOD restaurants (meaning dining establishments located IN actual neighborhoods, and not just on traffic clogged arteries), so if this is really opening to the public in the middle of Shenandoah, I think it might actually be a positive development in some sense.

I didn't think there was any way to pull this off with BR zoning the way it is, though.

btw .. someone might wanna explain to the bloke where he's moving to .. the sign in front of the place says "moving to Shenandoah CC" .. it closed about FIVE years ago .. Also .. absolutely NO signage in front of SOAC announcing their arrival .. strange ..

they're doing OK .. the summer swim memberships are too pricey from what I understand .. but the tennis courts seem to stay busy and at night, the parking lot has a decent # of cars .. I just think the jury's out whether someone is gonna wanna cancel out their workout with high calorie food ..
