Another couple of Oconee County restaurants bite the dust while another pair prepare to open
Got to tour the new Taco Stand with big glass doors in Butler's Crossing and it looks like a smaller version of any of the four Taco Stands in Athens or Atlanta. Square feet wise, it most closely resembles the Milledge Avenue Taco Stand but with the glass doors it should be more spacious and less crowded.
The Oconee County Taco Stand will not open by Valentine''s Day but should be open sometime in March probably once they get the tile laid and painting. The principal of the Oconee Middle School across the street reportedly wants to open a BBQ restaurant right next door and an unidentified restaurant owner wants to bail out of the rapidly deteriorating and nearby Jamestown Shopping Center and move over there.
Found out a pair of restaurants closed in that nearby Colony Square Shopping Center, a Zero's Subs and a Meals in a Minute place closed in the last month. There is a newer restaurant there called Rachel's Southern Meals that has great sausage biscuits and good help. So far I have yet to turn into that shopping center but drive by there maybe three times a week.
Also no truth to the rumors that DePalma's continues to pay for the vacant space in the hideously designed and marketed Capital Square at Market Place shopping center which I think has a nail salon and nothing else open. Guess that is karma for putting up a sign without permission.
Sources indicate that during a closed called meeting later this month beer and wine service in the rest of Oconee County outside of Watkinsville will be approved at an Oconee County Board of Commissioners meeting with the tie-breaking vote cast by chairman G. Melvin Davis. Should be interesting to see if it comes true.
