Busiest Day Ever!!

For those of you who came to Tortillas Blanco on Saturday, Thanks! Thanks for your patience, thanks for your smiling faces, thanks for understanding. We had a very challenging situation with the Art on the Square event taking place that day. It was definitely a record for us at the restaurant, all the tables were full and we had about 15-20 people waiting outside without a seat. We appreciate the patience that was required to be a customer on Saturday. The problem was we kept running out of food! There was really no way of knowing what we were facing that day the last couple of years that particular event has not been that big...I guess things change!! The girls did great working in the back to get the food out they really earned their money. For those of you who didn't get to try us out because of the line I apologize and hope that you will come back real soon and give us a try. Remember the new hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until 8pm.

8pm

This is the 2nd night we have worked extended hours, so far so good! I felt like we were sort of teasing the people that were some distance from Athens by closing at 6pm. Of course, we have been really trying to increase production at the factory. We have added 2 additional employees to our staff and I look forward to what we are going to accomplish. Tomorrow is the annual Art on The Square event the streets have been blocked off in front of our restaurant. You can still park in the parking lot beside our building please don't hesitate to come by. We will be open tomorrow night until 8pm if you want to come for supper.

Gustav Comes Ashore

As Gustav comes ashore it looks as though most people have gone ahead and taken proper precautions by leaving the Gulf area. I believe the government has done their part to be ready. As the hurricane hits the shore I hope that the damage is minimal to the area. There are people who have stayed (8%-9%) and I scratch my head at the thought. I did hear that 3 people that were under hospital care died during their transport, so there are some situations that pose unique challenges for some people to leave. For the others, I just don't know. There was even a family that were staying in their boat to "tough it out". The guy on the Weather Channel said he spoke to the family and they were staying because the "kids" wanted to!! Sometimes there are people that just can't be helped. Good Luck! The storm has just been downgraded to a Category 2 and the primary concern is the flooding and the test it will present to the levees.
