FLYING MONKEY BUSINESS

WE ARE LEAVING THIS POST UP THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO BLOGGER BEING MESSED UP MOST OF FRIDAY.

Hello friends it is I, Madi aka RR, (rovering reporter) reporting to you from the red room.  A couple of weeks ago, we teased you here
with a picture of a very pretty red plane sitting in the middle of Crabtree Vally Mall.  Today we are reporting the rest of the story.

On Wednesday May 4th, after ~ nine months constrution

The Red Monkey Tavern opened for business.

We thought the red plane sitting in the mall was just for promotion purposes and would be removed.

Don't you just love the monkey door handles?

As you can see, red plane is still HANGING around and is

now in its permanent location.  Mom and Dad watched the entire

hanging process.

This picture shows the heavy duty steel bracket

attached to the top of the plane which hangs over the lower

section of the tavern

There is also another heavy duty steel brace attached to the

tail section as seen below.  Mom and Dad are planning to have

lunch there next week but Mom says she is not sitting under the plane. MOL

In case you are wondering, this is a real sport biplane.

 I was not invitied.  Mom says she is not sitting under the plane.

The Red Monkey will feature steak, seafood and pasta dishes and a variety of spirits.  As the owner stated in an interview, "it will be an elegant watering hole". He goes on to say "we will utilize North Carolina farms and breweries to world class cuisine in a gastro pub atmosphere."  Mom said she'd let you know about their dining experience.
And so that is it for today,
Madi, RR
