It’s been over a year since we first heard word about the new bar opening at the corner of West College Ave and Mead Road.  Well, it sounds like the day has finally arrived.  On Facebook, The Imperial folks wrote on Wednesday…

Hark the Heralds Sing: The Imperial Grand Opening will be Friday December 13 at 6 pm.

Also, if you wander by tonight or tomorrow we will probably be here looking expectantly out the windows wondering if anyone loves us.

Giving background on a walk-on alcohol permit application at last night’s Decatur City Commission meeting, Asst. City Manager Lyn Menne mentioned that construction of The Imperial bar at 726 West College Avenue would likely conclude in 6 weeks.

Not really post-worthy news in most cases, but The Imperial was announced almost a year ago, so signs of life and a general idea of an opening date is probably of interest to many neighbors and Decatur-area bar-goers.
