It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment.

Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

Virginia was home to many Civil War battles between April 12, 1861, and May 26, 1865. Remnants from the war between the states continue to be found in the Commonwealth today. In March 2021, The Washington Post reported that children playing in the Seaford area of York, Virginia, found a Civil War-era cannonball buried two feet underground. The children took it to their parents, who called 911. The York-Poquoson Sheriff's office said the cannonball was to be disposed of by an explosion.
