Update On Stables Cafe & Cantina...

"Update on the situation with the Stables restaurant, according to that report (it may be available online, I haven't checked). They plan to have a 'make-shift' restaurant open within about 4 weeks. They plan to have their new facility, larger then the first, open on the same location by June 1st. The restaurant will be open to the public. The motel, however, will be reserved for Police and Fire Fighting camps. One of the two partners is a company with several such camps across the US, and they will use the 2,000-acre spread here at the Freedom/Alabaster location for such training. The fire is officially declared of undetermined origin; they think it began in the northwest corner of the building. Word at one point was that there was a space heater in use in a certain corner of the building, though this article did not mention that (it may have been "coffee shop" talk). We are fortunate that the fire started on Saturday instead of the following day, when the winds whipped up to 55+ mph. We could have had the same scenario that they experienced in Borger and Pampa and Amarillo areas in the Texas panhandle. With no rain and now with no grass (dead or alive) to hold the soil, folks are wondering if Texas will become another "Dust Bowl" like this region experienced in the 'Dirty Thirties'."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
