Sure the wax replica of Jimbo isn't going to be in the Chinese place? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

I could dream but I won't.
Pretty sure it is the new home for the Chinese place where the Holiday Inn is.</div></div>

Right on that - Demolition on the Jefferson will begin when the occupancy permit comes through for the bottom floors of the Holiday Inn, but the Cafe will be the last part to go - they can technically hold out until their new building is ready (but if it was me I'd offer to take a nice buyout to move out sooner!)

I just called China Cafe and asked them directly to confirm if that was to be their new location (end all speculation and just get the info straight from the horse's mouth). They are moving in front of Goody's.

If all the rumors spread about that shopping center came true we'd already have an Olive Garden, Golden Corral, Pals, TGIFridays, Ruby Tuesdays, AND the old walmart would be a Home Depot and a Target lol

The dude at China Cafe actually has a 5 yr lease they found out with a option to renew. I reckon he is gonna for sure move out tho when the new place is completed. They will probably start demolishing the Jefferson pretty soon. The Holiday Inn is hoping/praying to be ready for the Bristol race. Place looks pretty good inside.

On another note anybody know if the Thai restaurant is still open? Haven't been by there in a while.

Last time I was by there the sign was still up and they appeared to be open.

I heard from a good source that China Cafe was building there. Since it's getting torn down for parking for the new Hoilday Inn

They are still there and open at the moment.
They dont have to vacate, technically, until their new building is complete. However Holiday Inn is needing to demolish and get finished before that will happen - they're already completely booked for their anticipated opening. I'd expect to see a buyout.

I ate there last week, the food was (once again) spectacular, and I really wish more people would give them business because the owner and the rest of his staff are some of the most friendly people any of us could hope to meet.

Jack (owner of china cafe) has said himself that is where he is going. I have saw the floor plans, there will be Chinese and Japanese food, and it will be named Asia Cafe'

They should name it "we wont hire that many locals but will have a staff you cant understand cafe"

On another note taco bell is experiencing some difficulties. Anyone been in there lately. Ive been there maybe twice in the last month and both times at least 5 folks have demanded money back.
