<div>The Patriot Group has, or soon will, make on offer to the Salimi brothers to purchase the buildings in which the Calvert House operates.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Patriot Group has assured me that it is their wish to buy&nbsp;the building with a tenant already in place--The Calvert House Inn. The financial health of the restaurant will remain unclear until after the real estate piece is worked out. &nbsp;Should this arrangement not work out, there are at least two other parties that have expressed an interest, and whose last name does not begin with J.

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

<br>&gt;&gt; Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2006 22:41:40 -0500<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Can anyone on this listserv shed light on what has happened to Calvert House <br>&gt;&gt; Inn?<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Susie and I were at an event in Beltsville this afternoon and decided to
<br>&gt;&gt; have a belated Valentine's Day dinner on the way home.&nbsp;&nbsp;Knowing of the<br>&gt;&gt; limited supply of nicer restaurants on Rte. 1, we stopped first at Lupo's of <br>&gt;&gt; College Park, only to find a sign stating &quot;Closed for the month of January&quot;
<br>&gt;&gt; on the front door.&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, it's late February, so we lamented the loss of<br>&gt;&gt; that fine steak house and moved on down the road to one of our favorite <br>&gt;&gt; local restaurants, Calvert House Inn.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; We were shocked to find the restaurant dark on a Saturday night.&nbsp;&nbsp;We went<br>&gt;&gt; around back to the parking lot and saw the sign reading, &quot;Closed for <br>&gt;&gt; Remodeling.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;We didn't notice any signs of remodeling, and hadn't it been
<br>&gt;&gt; remodeled just a few years ago?<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; We ended up having a fine dinner at Franklin's, but the evening's <br>&gt;&gt; experiences were quite unsettling.&nbsp;&nbsp;As underserved as our region is with<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;white-tablecloth&quot; restaurants, could we have lost two more already in 2006?<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Say it ain't so, neighbors to the north!! <br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Chris Currie<br>&gt;&gt; Hyattsville
