Without going into painful detail, I have been trying to work out this arcane law that has prevented places like the Royale opening for the past 8+ years.

About a month and a half ago, it became clear that an exception in the law had been allowed so I could open up in a place at a building I bought on Cherokee about a year and a half ago. Of course, the hold up now is financing. I am in the same boat as the rest of the United States, except the bankers and auto companies. Money is no longer available for financing. Oh well. I am still trying. I am looking forward to someday getting this project off the ground.

Cherokee really is a special place. I hope there is some hard leadership in the area that will really push good projects forward instead of holding business back.

Thanks for the pictures Bill. It really is exciting.
