02Sled Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Rebuild is well underway. The owner and his family are friends of mine. He hopes to have the kitchen washroom and main dining room complete and open mid to late January even though the other parts of the building won't be done. Massive amounts of restoration work. Put up temporary walls and support beams to hold things up while original charred ones are replaced. He really wants to get open so his 23 employees can get back to work. They all have said they will come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rhino's is nearing completion and will be able to open likely around the end of April. The original building was built about 100 years ago and known as the Kennedy Hotel. A few pictures from the early years. Drywall started about a week ago, all new inside and essentially outside. Stone up to the second floor outside. New septic. Two new apartments upstairs looking at the water. Our friends are meeting with the interior designer in a week or two for the finishing touches It will be all ready for next winter with lots of snow coming to bring the sled heads to the door.

slomo Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Great post 02! What say we configure an Ontario Conditions Olympic Food Tasting team and visit them soon after opening? I have fond memories of the chicken wings and ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Great post 02! What say we configure an Ontario Conditions Olympic Food Tasting team and visit them soon after opening? I have fond memories of the chicken wings and ribs. I suspect I will be there for the opening. I go fishing regularly with the father of the guy who owns it (David) and the owners son. The guy who owns it tends to be too busy to find the time to go fishing with us very often and when he does his son shows him how it's done. I was just talking with his father in Florida today and the owner and family were there for a week during march break. His son showed him up as usual. I think for sure an OC test of the wings is in store.... for sure by sled next winter if not this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 That it did. My friend David who owns it is glad to be back in business and have his staff back to work. Staggering price tag for the rebuild though. Insurance is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
