Always enjoyed the music at Lakeside, and occasionally checking out some good blues there. Really hoping it doesn't turn into something awful!

We're just looking for the perfect place for it to live. We do all the maintance and stuff. Maybe it'll even stay at its present location. I haven't met with the new owners yet. But I'm very hopeful that we'll keep it somewhere in the neighborhood.
