you would think with young people living in the apartments and families who cann't afford parts of homewood, vestavia and mountain brook, that enough people would not mind having a pub. I don't think its neccesarily the age factor but the conservative vs liberal.

Would y'all check out my post under the Places to Eat Forum....it relates to this issue.  I don't know how to do a link to it!    
 
Thanks!!

I remember all that, I was here. There was a lot in the paper about it also.  big mess. Better place now that it is rebuilt.  
 
If you open a Bistro I will be the first in the door!!  

Thanks, Chap--- we can't wait to get rolling up there on the hilltop so you can come in regular and help us be THE place for area and traveling songwriters. I haven't posted any word recently on the progress up there, because it's moving about as fast as national health care reform--- this is just to let everyone know that the architect's drawings are complete, and we are hoping to begin the few modifications called for any day now, soon as Hoover signs off on the plans. Still hoping to be open March 1st, but this is a weird world, so who knows what might happen
tomorrow or the next day---
 
Again, I wish I could plan to serve alcohol at that location, but if you'll scroll up and re-read the reasons why that's not gonna happen--- too much money has to be spent at the front end, and too many locals are against the agenda to hope for it to be successful--- but remember that you will be able to bring your own little snackies and beverages
to the performances, and that means less money out of pocket for a very special night out.
 
Go to the Moonlight website, and add your name to the email list so I can keep you advised of the schedule:

Thanks for your interest and support!

Moonlight, please check the pm that I sent.

Finally--  Moonlight is now open for music, with a schedule of upcoming concerts posted on our website--->

As I said before, this is not so much a business as a social experiment--- I'm hoping that the community will embrace the concept of a place to gather and enjoy cultural activities of many kinds, it's up to you to decide the direction it will take. Of course, the overhead must be paid, and to that end, the room is available for very reasonable rent to anyone who would like to use it for a family, social, or corporate gathering.
Come by, see what it looks like, and contact me with your ideas--- in the meantime, I'll be scheduling the best original acoustic musicians for evening concerts, so you'll have a low-cost, casual place to go for entertainment... right in your own neighborhood.
 
Come on in, and let me meet you!

We gotta keep blowing the trumpet---- WE ARE OPEN AND HAVING CONCERTS---- also need to get people thinking about having their private events here--
got room for 85 seated, well-suited for evening affairs such as meetings, receptions, presentations, celebrations, etc.
Admission charged for our music events supports the artists, we are looking for other ways to cover our overhead, and to serve the neighborhood community... come see the space, reach us through the email and phone number on the website:
www.moonlightonthemtn.com
and help us get our roots planted here on this unique hilltop. Thanks!
