Ok all of you foodies, I have heard a rumor that the folks from Cecil's will be taking over the restaurant at the Elks and it will be open to the public. Is this true?

Yes as long as health department will approve septic tank, but my guess it will require an upgrade and will be too expensive. But sure would be nice to have a decent place to eat on the north end of the lake.?!,

Sounds
reasonable to me. Both have a history of questionable decision making
IMHO. Elks hired a woman who bankrupted two businesses prior to them
hiring her, one a restaurant and one a marina. During her tenure I
called at 8:15pm to see what time the kitchen closed and was told 9pm. I
drove thru AC and all the eating choices to stop and support the Elks
Club. When I got there at 8:35pm I was told the kitchen had already
closed. When I pointed out that I had just called, they told me if they
paid attention to every call about hours of operation, they would be
there till 9 EVERY NIGHT! Imagine that, a place of business keeping
with the posted hours. I haven't darkened the door of the place since
that night, and I was a member. Technically I guess I still am, just
not in good standing. Which is reasonable because I always questioned
any establishment that would have the likes of me as a member ;<:)
The good folks at Cecils' advertised and put on a benefit concert to benefit themselves,
and when that was a bust the place burned down within a week. What is
it with places named Cecils and fires? I saw the ad on the front page
of the 'Outlook' advertising the 'benefit concert' and pointed out to a
friend that it had all the info EXCEPT who the recipient was. I assumed
it to be the recent tornado victims in the area since it was billed as a
benefit after all. I was actually in the hospital when one of my
nurses told the the place had burned down. She also told me about
attending the "benefit" concert the prior week to help her friend the
manager/owner. That is how I learned that the 'benefit' was to raise
money for renovations to Cecils. I then understood why the
advertisement didn't list a recipient. Who throws a 'benefit' for
themselves?
Seems like a marriage made in heaven to me!!

$100k in septic upgrades because it would be a public restaraunt so, the deal is off.

"$100k in septic upgrades because it would be a public restaraunt so, the deal is off."
I was under the impression that anyone could come in and eat at the Elks Lodge whether they were a member or not. I have been told that a couple of times lately. I wonder why the imposition of Tallapoosa County building code would differ between a private club that lets anyone eat there and a 'public restaurant'? Seems sort of strange, doesn't it? Is this the State of Alabama 'gud ol' boy' network at work?
