"The property could switch to another franchise--possibly a Sheraton Hotel-- once the project is completed."

Good news, but why would they switch it again?

More construction jobs, plus a new restaurant near Haddad RFP. I hope the outside will look good, it doesn't look terrible, but it sure isn't the most beautiful thing in downtown.

The company also will build a new indoor pool and sports-themed restaurant called Recovery Sports Grill.

What a stupid name for a restaurant.

The name originated when their first venture was located close to a hospital and it was close to the recovery room of the hospital. They have stuck with the name for their other restaurants they have opened. (read this in an article from the online version of Daily Mail.)

I think there are about 10 locations of this chain throughout the country. The name is a little off, but it will be right on the street and will just add one more restaurant option to downtown.
