Well, behind schedule, as most things go.
Life gets in the way sometimes, as I was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months after buying this place. Surgery and recovery went well, so I’ve been back on my feet for the last week, and hit the ground running.
We plan on doing an initial opening next Wednesday, the day of the first village cruise-in of the year. Just have a couple more loose ends to tie up, but nothing that would prevent us from opening.
Had a Sicilian friend of the family and his wife, who has run multiple restaurants around Milwaukee, come today to tweak a couple recipes (I’m Scott’s/Irish and don’t cook!) My son Matt, in the black shirt and hat, is managing the place. He’s kicking azz for an 18 year old, and everyone who we deal with can’t believe how knowledgeable and organized the kid is for his age. ( I always say I raised them all to be independent!)
Can’t wait to get the ball rolling here, and get the ‘55 Catalina back from the upholstery shop, so I can park it out front, especially on cruise nights!
Don’t know if I mentioned this earlier, but my 14 year old, Colin designed our logo. I didn’t ask him to do this, he just came upstairs with his laptop one night and showed me the logo, using a green/white ‘55 off the internet. I accepted it as is, and now on our sign, hats, ect.
