[Image of head house restaurant coming soon]

I heard today that the restaurant that was planned for the head house at Upper Landing has backed out of the deal.  Not surprising, giving the other restaurant news lately.  The interesting thing is what will happen with the space now.  Rather than leave it vacant in hopes of landing a restaurant in the future, the developers of Upper Landing will convert it in to a semi-rest stop for people enjoying the miles of trail that line the Mississippi River.

I can kind of understand why a restaurant would not want to open in the space just given the physical disconnect between Upper Landing and Downtown (funny part about that is Downtown is at a higher elevation than Upper Landing, I know it has to do with position on the river, but I still think it's comical).  The good news is the developer still plans on making a museum out of the actual head house.  I can't wait until it's all ready to go!
