GALAXY DINER IS CLOSING
« on: December 28, 2019, 03:37:41 pm »
THE GALAXY DINER IS CLOSING   Today Steve and I had lunch at The Diner and as we were leaving Maria gave us the news.  They weren't able to renew their lease on the building.  Tomorrow, December 29, 2019 will be their last day of operation at Henderson Mill Road.

She said she's taking about a month to sort out and make plans as to whether they will open elsewhere.  A new meeting place needs to be identified, maybe in that area since it's somewhat central to our active members. 

American Pie is out.  They closed in 2007 when Sandy Springs incorporated that area and became a city.  The owner said that Liquor Laws and Last Call laws were changed and that seriously affected their bottom line. 

Michael McDonnell, you know what area pretty well.  Have any ideas where we should meet for January, even if it's a temporary location?

Art Doctor, do you have any suggestions?

This is terrible news, on the one hand, but is an opportunity for a change of meeting venues, on the other hand.

Of course, the sooner a decision is made, the better.  Ideally, a list should be made of what is desired in a new meeting venue.

I'll present a few items for consideration:
Proximity
Ease of access
Willingness of the site to host a group regularly
Large parking lot
Quality of area
Agreeable food/pricing?

Yesterday Cafe, Greensboro, GA.
http://theyesterdaycafe.com/

At least once...

Then maybe Social Circle.

Might even attend a few meetings if I don't have to spend 4 hours in my car.

Yesterday Cafe's menu is being updated, meaning not available.

Well, a while back a suggestion was made of getting a central place for all members.  It seems there are 2 from all the way West, and 1 from all the way East.  There seem to be 3 near the Diner.  Dunno about Richard or Scott, but suspect Richard is not far from the Diner, and Scott is about an hour from there.

I suspect you will all have a much better idea of what is Central and such. I however am all about good food so while I don't make many meetings I vote for somewhere with really good food 😁

Of those who attend meetings, they are spread between Blairsville in far NE Georgia, Carnesville in E. Georgia, Dallas/Douglasville in W. Georgia, Adairsville in far NW Georgia.  Everyone else is somewhere inside those points.

Sorry to hear about Galaxy closing. I only went there one time with my daughters but we liked the food. If you are looking for suggestions I’ve heard the Wind Creek casino in Atmore, AL is very nice this time of year!! Hope to make it back to Atlanta for a meeting in the Spring.

My V8 club guys are having this same discussion.  Ill let y'all know what we come up with.  That was our Board of Directors meet up before we went t o a club members garage to do the actual club business.  Our monthly club meeting is always held at JR's Loghouse located just OTP on Peachtree Industrial blvd in Doraville.  They have been friendly the last few years.  They have a "meeting room" in the back we use they close off the partition doors.  Prior to JR's we meet at the Old Hickory House, but that became a problem for reasons I was not privy to back then and thus the switch to JR's

Our Board Chairman and I talked this morning and we talked about a temporary place until a final location can be determined.  Old Hickory was one, but Mike said that he thought it was going to be closing due to area development projects.  Another temporary location is the Varsity Jr. just off Jimmy Carter Blvd. in Norcross.  Just waiting on him to name a place for this month's meeting.
