Correct me if I'm wrong. When Roadrunner was built/designed the average boat was a 18 flat/semi v jet. A big boat was a 21 Daycruiser or something like that. Now there is 24' dock crushers and 28' plus cruising up / down Parker. The whole river dynamics has changed.

Buy it then apply for ppp loan next time around.if it includes the rv part money can be made but last time there few years ago those docks were hammered.
Not buying anything at my age anymore lol
If they had a lot of waterfront property
Maybe do something like Sundance resort
Build cabanas sell them for 500k plus
But how much more do you have to invest
Plus all the legality ?
Another 5 mil ?

Hopefully they don’t rip it all out and build homes. The Keys have enough high dollar homes for sale as it is. Rebuilding and refining the business could make it dominate over Foxs and others.

No where else in my air space do I piss onto a keg filled with ice. I'm cool if they change nothing 😄

You're right though.

So sad it’s the end. I could t bring myself to go out there this weekend.

I have texted with Jeff and steph. This weekend. It’s a sad deal for me. Rod was a huge sort of my life and many memories.

I highly doubt it will be even close to what it was. 😢

Roadrunner closing is something my brain just cannot accept. This really bums me out, I hope that it's only temporary.😥😢😔

Did it fall out of escrow? It doesn’t show sale pending anymore or sold?

Sad to see an icon go. No idea what the future plans are, but being in the rest/ bar/ brewery business, I know it would take millions to upgrade that site.

Someone of the bartenders did a video two days ago, supposedly still in escrow, supposedly still doing a remodel and then reopening, but a lot of unknowns.

Went up river tonight. Had dinner at Fox's. Was weird seeing Road Runner closed. Don't know what is coming, but word at Roadrunner this weekend is a high end resort, hotel. No more floating bar ? But this is Parker and can't believe rumors. Who knows?

I heard from a bartender on the strip. Buyer sold there other business for 400 million and going to redo it. Most likely a rumor.

Asked the Guy who I though might of bought it and He heard it wouldn't close escrow.

Who knows? Both second hand info.

It is Parker, I have been close friends with the last four property owners, including the current owner Al. Don't know who to believe ? Nice piece of property, but hard to believe an investor would try and run a floating bar, and cover a six million dollar investment. Time will tell. I have lived here for 33 years, and my wife is in real estate and we don't know what is up.

Any leftover cups?
The ones remaining last night had no letters on them, and they were out of the vinyl stickers they had the day before. All T shirts gone, a few very plain hats still hanging over the bar, but it's closed, no way to go buy them except maybe directly from Jeff. He and Stephanie are moving to a cooler climate after 20 years. Happy I got to say goodbye to him last night.

A guy at work was there this weekend. He heard someone say it was a Pilipino guy that bought it. Probably just another rumor.

Everything is speculation, and nobody knows the future (not even the guy who bought it) but I hope something great comes of it!

I wonder why they wouldn’t at least keep the bar going. Unless it wasn’t making money. Sucks. I will be there next week Thursday to Sunday. Bummer.
