I made a call this morning to check for you. As of now, while people are looking and interested in the space there is nothing currently on the books to open up there. Hopefully that will change soon.

Keep in mind there isn't a hotel yet, until one signs on to the project there isn't an official list of amenities and such.

It'll be Triallta Irish Dance Company's first time marching in the parade. We're a little group, but very excited.

It should be warm (predicting mid to high 40's as of today) but may get a little wet so dress accordingly. Besides the pipers (and my own float in better financial years) the Derby Gal's are my favorite.

Looking forward to checking out the parade this year as I haven't been before. Is anyone else attending?
