Greetings, I just got off the phone from talking with Ed, and we have decided to try and build off of the hopeful success of the ladies out-door "Fundango" on October 7th, by trying our luck with an indoor October “Fundango” shortly thereafter. We realize that things are a bit tenuous these days, but we also realize the importance of being able to have and maintain our social contacts. So here is what we are proposing.
There is a relatively new restaurant in Toledo, and it is sitting on the site of the former Sports Arena, over in East Toledo, just beyond the old Cherry Street Bridge. The name of this fine establishment is “The Old Bag of Nails Pub,” and it is located at 615 Riverside Dr.
Now for this particular “Fundango,” we are up against two logistical issues. The first involves making a group reservation, which is difficult to do during pandemic because of protocol restrictions, and because we can’t really guess very accurately how many of you will be willing to show up. Second, because this particular restaurant is doing such a good business, even during the pandemic, they aren’t interested or willing in taking reservations.
So the plan is this, after talking with the restaurant staff, we determined that there is a brief lag in their business, after the lunch crowd and before the dinner crowd, at around 4:00 pm. So that is when we are asking you to arrive for our resumption of Start HS “Fundangoes. There is no guarantee that we can get tables together, but that will be our best opportunity to do so.
Once again, we are talking, “Fundango," on Tuesday, October 13th, starting at 4:00 pm, at “The Old Bag of Nails Pub,” which is located in East Toledo, at the site of the old Sports Arena. Hope that you can make it.
