25 Things about Me (Station 7 Restaurant that is)

A few years back, there was a big craze on Facebook where everyone compiled a list of interesting and/or little known facts about themselves, aka "25 Things About Me".  I personally enjoyed reading those lists as they offered a unique insight into how people see themselves and what I really knew about people I thought I already knew.

 

If Station 7 had a Facebook page back then (and I'm not sure we did since we don't have the scary timeline yet that would allow us to very easily check what we were doing in early 2008? 2009?), we did not make a list.  So here goes:

1. The first time I entered the building that is now Station 7 Restaurant, we literally had to drag out boxes of junk just to set foot inside.
2. There were also three cars parked in what is now the dining room.
3. The pressed tin ceiling in the downstairs dining room is original (although restored) from 1929.
4. It took 7 tons of sand to sandblast everything that had to be sandblasted.  That's 14,000 pounds!
5. The upstairs bar top is made from the floor boards that used to be where the tile floor is now behind that bar.
6. The wooden posts in the hostess stand came from the original railing at the top of the stairs.
7. There never was a pole in the Pittsville firehouse - it was always a volunteer house and the second floor was used as a community center, not sleeping quarters.
8. During renovations, we found evidence that at some time in the past there had been a FIRE in the FIREHOUSE1

This list is harder than I thought.  Consider this "25 Things About Me - Part 1" and be sure to check back in a few days for our next installment!

Also, don't forget this Saturday is Karaoke for Cash!  $100 to the best singer (as determined by the crowd, so bring your friends!)  Hope to see you soon at Station 7!

It only took me 4 months to get back here....

I wish I had some interesting, edge of your seat, hilarious reason why I haven't been back here, but I don't.  Too many things to do, not enough time to do them.  But I am setting a goal and making a promise - I will be here more often.  I want to say every day for the next 30 days, but that's unlikely.  So at least every few days for the next 30 days.

What's new in Pittsville?  To start, we've updated our $7.77 lunch menu to include some fresh, light favorites like the Chicken Salad Wrap!  Yes - it's BACK!  We've also added a flatbread pizza of the day and a turkey and cheese sub, plus many more choices.  Each is just $7.77 and includes a soft drink, plus most include a side.  You know that $5 sub deal you always hear about - that's JUST the sub!  We've got a great deal in Pittsville and if you haven't tried it yet, please do!
