As more CIB close more Margs open.

He got out in time.
Now if we could just find out what's happening with this:
Was in Biloxi this past weekend, Construction still going on, but doesn't look much farther along then what it was in July.
2 Questions I've been wondering:
Will it have a poker room?
How can I swing a reservation for the opening!? :D

Same thing happened to the CIP in York, PA last year........ :cry:

It seemed to be busy most nights, had a great wait staff, good food and drinks, but it's been the chain itself rather than the individual restaurants that continues to fail...... :(

Too bad.....

Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"

If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."

Same thing I experienced at both the KC locations. :(

I'm sure one has closed already. Wonder if the other is headed the same way. And it's a shame, because my first visits were great. Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Downhill ever since, tho... :-?

The Kalamazoo location was probably not in a great spot. Right off the highway, away from most of the action. I always wondered why it went in there and not in a couple of different higher traffic areas. Anyway, must be the lease was a good price. We will certainly miss it. But whatcha gonna do? Seems like just yesterday we were at the grand opening festivities! :o
