Charlie's in Forsyth to close for good!
Sunday, October 1, 2017 will be the
last day for Charlie's Steak Ribs and Ale. The establishment will close
for about a week and reportedly reopen on Sunday, October the 8th!
When it does reopen, there will be
changes including a new name – C and C's Pizza and Pub (?) with menu changes in the types of fare offered to the public. Look for some new menu items
including a salad bar, a buffet and pizza!
Personally, I think the changes will be
fun and readily accepted by the local eating crowd.
Update: October 2, 2017 - I just learned that Charlie's, in Forsyth, has closed permanently...Perhaps the owner was in deeper trouble than was suspected (my opinion)... As of July 2018, the establishment still stands empty... February 29, 2020 - The business was under contract, but that fell through. www.taneyweather.com

Bull Shoals bridge project may get webcam!
I received a note from the head
engineer of the Bull Shoals bride project who informed me that they
were 'looking at getting an Ox Blue construction webcam' if one was
available. These are Internet accessible cameras that can allow the
public to view to see what the traffic and overall construction
progress looks like. Very cool if that were to happen.
He also wanted to reiterate that they
were not anticipating back-ups beyond the normal morning and
afternoon commutes since the contractor cannot 'close the road during
peak hours'. He stated that it is also the 'contractor’s intent is
to conduct flagging operations during non-peak hours while they pour
the intermediate bents in the lake'.
Finally, he reiterated that 'the only
road closure intended for the project will be the time it is needed
to make the final tie-ins which can take up to 2 weeks'. But, that
they intend to do everything they can ahead of time to greatly
reduce this inconvenience.
I was very happy to hear from them and to know that MODOT and Lehman Construction are doing the absolute best they can to resolve public concerns during the construction phase of a multi million dollar effort that is sure to cause some problems with commuters and emergency personnel even as the engineering experts will be striving to mitigate the pain. www.taneyweather.com
