[RP TownTalk] Whither Calvert House Inn?

[bruce.wernek at mindspring.com]

All

I recently heard they are putting the restaurant up for sale and that the Patriot group is interested.  I don't think that there is any conflict between the brothers.  It's all about money.  Mind you all of this is rumors.

I wonder how many people on this email distribution list regularly frequented the Calvert House.  It's probably the same number of people that freqented the Riverdale Bookshop.

>My understanding is that the Calvert House has closed because of conflict between the brothers-owners.  Not for reasons of sustainability as a business, which was apparently doing fine.  Hopefully the brothers will work things out and one or both re-open soon.
