Trackside Tavern To Be Rebuilt In Its Own Image
Decatur Metro | July 28, 2010
We’ve heard this on and off for a while, but more than a year-and-a-half after a fire destroyed Trackside Tavern and 5th Earl, it now sounds like construction of Trackside 2.0 may finally be around the corner.
A reader sends along this note from Trackside owner Doc Al…
OK, OK – here’s the news: Today is the beginning of the beginning of the rebirth of Trackside! I have been keeping it quiet for a little while, but after meeting with the building owner, working with the architect, and being contacted by the contractor, I can finally say with confidence that we are very soon from seeing the old building knocked down and an ALMOST IDENTICAL one going up in its place very very soon.

Hooray! Soon, I can give up “Project Runway” and get back to darts.
I wish the Fifth Earl was also being rebuilt in it’s image.
Great, I’ve been longing for the day when I could be insulted by a pub owner again.All the people who may care are married and have kids now.Yawn.
Wait a minute, did my reply to No Surprise get removed or did it just not post correctly? Because I really want to tell him/her that the folks who do care about Trackside reopening will not miss him/her. And there ARE many of us, married, single, with and without kids who look forward to reclaiming our little piece of Decatur at a place that’s not some sterile, “family-friendly” pit of suburban blight. Yawn…Not!
Double yawn.
Here here, here.
