The long awaited arrival of the new Pittsville Restaurant named Station 7 is just around the corner. The addition is complete, the hoods are in, the beer lines and soda lines are installed in the upper and lower bar, the drywall is being installed as we speak and the paint is going on the walls where code calls for it. Todd and Carol Wampler couldn't be more excited, AND exhausted! The photos above will give you an idea just how far they've come but within the next 2 weeks, well, things will be complete and a Grand Opening will be the talk of the Town.
Get a look at that one photo of the new hood just installed! That's a HUGE hood! The bar upstairs was being stained yesterday and I gotta tell you Folks, they did a nice job upstairs! The Salisbury area needed a good restaurant, one that everyone can brag about and this is going to be the place, you'll see!
Art,
ReplyDeleteI sure do recall what it looked like when I bought it! The Town of Pittsville was so grateful I bought the place and at least cleaned it up, as well as the metal building next to it.
I can't wait to get started on the exterior of that building as it has been an eye sore for many, many years!
Pittsville is changing daily, including the new Body Shop. Houses are going up like you wouldn't believe and I expect Pittsville to be the next Bowie of the Eastern Shore. We'll see?
Aahh Pittsville, what a fantastic little town. I went to high school there back in the day. Around the turn of the century (the 20th) Pittsville was the true "Srawberry Capitol of the World." People there were making so much money growing strawberries they were actually growing them in their front yards. I met old timers in their late seventies who told me their Moms and Dads went broke three and four times in the strawberry business. Up until the early 60's it wasn't uncommon for school students in that area to get out of school a week or so early to help pick strawberries. If you went on a trip in the USA during the thirties, forties, or fifties and purchased a postcard to send to the folks back home chances are it was printed at Tingle's Printing located in Pittsville. They sold postcards nationwide. Holloway's funeral home started out in Pittsville before moving to the 'bury. The deceased were usually embalmed on a table in the kitchen, work was halted at mealtimes. I'd never have believed the last one except that the story was related to me by a member of the Holloway family. It seems like Pittsville languished for a spell, particularly when the old high school was torn down. Now, however with new houses going up it seems as though it's gotten a second wind. Another restaurant would do the town good, but Dave White is such a nice guy, I just hope there's room for two in Pittsville.
