That last picture doesn't do that rooster justice.&nbsp\\; That thing is huge.&nbsp\\; If it had a mind to I bet it could put a serious hurt'n on ya.&nbsp\\; Can't wait for the place to reopen too.

LOL, you're right about that.&nbsp\\; I made sure to stay well clear of those spurs of his!!!&nbsp\\; I guess they took him up to the Yacht Club when Reni left.

Latest on the Rooster is that the lease is still in the hands of the lawyers.&nbsp\\; They are going to try to get some big "opening soon" banners to put up in front of the place and open right after the 4th of July weekend.&nbsp\\; From what I hear, the bar with all the Dave Mann artwork was destroyed.&nbsp\\; That sucks.

Hey Guys,
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Never made it to the "Rooster" before they shut down, but live close to the Yaght club. Yeah, the big red rooster is hangin out there. I agree, he is huge. They were having bike nites on Tuesdays but the few&nbsp\\;I attended were pretty slow. My guess would be the entertainment is some older dude doing Karaoke! She needs a band playing on bike nite! Anyway now bike nite is on Thursdays same as another popular Nassau county bike nite, Murry's Grill. I guess she figures more bikes will be on the road &amp\\;\\\\\\; might stop by.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;Joe
P.s. I think I'll stop by &amp\\;\\\\\\; suggest she
contact "Big Engine". I mean, if they'll
play the friggin Yulee bowling alley I would
think they'd play her bike nite.

I heard Big Engine last year at Boothill Saloon. I never seem to time my visits when they play the Rooster.
&nbsp\\;
Any of you checked out Michelle's on Beach Blvd?&nbsp\\;She has bands out in her parking lot.

It's about a mile west of southside blvd. right at the boat ramp for Pottsburg Creek.&nbsp\\; If you know where the old Jimmie's Fried Chicken used to be, that's it.&nbsp\\; It's on the left hand side if you are heading west. 8560 BEACH BLVD
