5th Earl Plans To Reopen; Trackside's Future Still Uncertain

Decatur Metro | January 21, 2009

Though we heard as much from one of the 5th Earl owners yesterday in a comment, here’s the message that’s been posted on their website…

To Our Many Loyal Customers and Friends,

As some of you may now know, the restaurant was severely damaged on Tuesday, January 20 by a major fire that started next door at Trackside Tavern and spread into our space. Thankfully, nobody was injured in the fire; however, the damage is extensive.

Due to the condition of the building, 5th Earl Market will be closed for business until further notice.

We have already received many calls and e-mails offering support and encouragement and we wish to extend our thanks for all of these. It is our plan to re-open. We do not know when, but do know that we want nothing more than to keep serving our many wonderful customers.

Thank you.

The 5th Earl Market Team

As for Trackside, which suffered far worse damage, things seem a bit more uncertain at this point.
