What a beautiful morning!
Music last night at the Pub was great. It was the BFD Band. Unfortunately there was a lot of activities going on in the area and the number of folks there was unfortunately not as many as could be. SDo we scheduled them again in June. They were that good.
This week on stage it is JOY RIDE from 4 to 8. They bring a good crowd so plan on getting there early.
Our congratulations go out to Michelle. She is a grandmother again to a little girl.
We have a new server, Danielle, She used to be at Ilforno’s. When you see her ask to see her nails. They are daggers,.
CRABS: Maryland Crabs at the Pub are so close you can almost taste them’ It is just 2 weeks. We start serving Crabs on Friday May 3rd at 5:00 pm.
We have the best steamers in the Frederick area in Ethan & Baikley. None are better. None except Pete & I. Well, I couldnt mention Crabs without mentioning the biggest Crab of all. You guessed it Doreen. What else can I say?
This weeks Lunch Specials are:
Tuesday: BBQ Pork Sandwich w/FF
Wednesday: Choice of Burger w/FF
Thursday: Chicken Salad Sandwich w/FF
Friday: Spaghetti w/Garlic Bread & Salad
Pub Restoration Update:
I met with the County on Friday. Whilke the County is adding the cost of improvements dating back to 2007 to our cost to complete which puts us over 50% damage according to the County and subject us to FEMA Regulations. Which means we have to go to the Board of Appeals which is a minimum of 3 months plus after the hearing we have to wait 45 days before we can apply for a permit. That is one problem. The other is the County says that e have to comply with a requirement that all he utilities have to be raised above the Flood Plain elevation which kn our case would mean either 5 foot or 7 foot above our existing floor. That is unbelievable.
The other solution is to get the Pub appraised as of June 1, 2023 at a value around 500k or more. I just need a good appraiser’ If that happens then the repairs are less than 50% and it is not classified as substantial damage and the County should issue the permit to finish ghe repairs.
That is where we stand now to the best of my knowledge. I am still working on it. I wish this County was business friendly.
Have a Great week. All suggestions are welcome.
See you at the Pub.
