Charlie Hallowell, owner of Boot & Shoe Service on Grand Avenue, has shelved plans for a butcher shop adjacent to his planned new restaurant, Penrose & Sons Fine Meats and Spirits, according to the latest issue of the Splash Pad Newsletter. The opening date for the new eatery, right across the street from Boot & Shoe, has been pushed back from late 2012 to late spring or early summer of 2013.
Splash Pad Newsletter editor Ken Katz also reports on a new "celebrity sighting" in the Grand Lake area: Warriors guard Klay Thompson dining at Chipotle, 3271 Lakeshore Ave. Attention, Golden State Warriors fans — Thompson apparently lives nearby and is spotted with some regularity on Lakeshore.
Also in the latest edition of the newsletter:
A bike corral coming to Lakeshore.
Businesses opening and closing in the Grand Lake shopping area.
Vendors shifting around to accommodate the seasonal Christmas tree lot at the Grand Lake Farmers Market.
