Welcome to the 21st Century.....

Hey! The quick search is over.

We needed to move so we found a close-by restaurant near Northwoods Mall.

It's named Bella Napoli.

I see that North Towne Grill has closed and sits empty.

Too bad. They drove away a 3-year customer who met each month, dined and drank as a group, and filled empty seats on a slow Wednesday night.

The new spot is less than a mile from the other site but there's a world of difference.

Well, Italian food instead of Greek and management that LOVES to work with groups like ours.

Chef Gary even offers us a discount on food and drinks. Yikes.

This outside picture is NOT to imply there is an excess of drinking at the meetings!

This was taken on a rainy night as I prepared to leave after another fun evening.

Looking through the windshield, I liked what the distortion did.

I took several pictures and chose this one.

Then I turned on the wipers.

You really should come to a meeting and check it out.

2nd Wednesday of the month. We start at 7:00pm and it ends about 9:00pm.

(2012 update: This restaurant closed suddenly and months later, re-opened across the street. Unfortunately, there was no quiet side-room there so we looked around again.

It's our artistic Gypsy nature.)
