“Lots of activity at Swampoodle this morning. There was a big construction dumpster and the owner and his crew were getting rid of debris to clean up the place. Fingers crossed that it will open soon. These urns / flower pots are now out front and the cherubs look like they are done waiting do it to open too.”

“About that cool restaurant concept: In the mornings, Pineapple and Pearls will host a small cafe in the front serving coffee, pastries, to-go sandwiches, and other breakfast items. In the evenings, it will transform into a fine dining restaurant featuring a prix-fixe tasting menu.”
