The architectural rendering above is a proposed 300-person, family friendly beer garden that would be managed by Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group. The drawing shows its proposed location at the west end of the Eastbridge town center, with westbound MLK at the back and eastbound MLK in the foreground.

About 80 people attended a Stapleton United Neighbors (SUN) sponsored meeting on October 24 at Bill Roberts school to hear Mark Shaker describe the beer garden business proposal to the community. Attendees expressed strong support for the beer garden and questioned Tom Gleason, Forest City VP for Public Relations, about why the project couldn’t proceed now. Gleason explained that Forest City believes the best plan for the development of Eastbridge is to secure an anchor tenant, then make decisions about the remaining available plots.

At a November 21 Community Advisory Board meeting Gleason said, “We are in pretty good discussions with a grocer for the Eastbridge Town Center, but until something is actually signed we don’t want to raise expectations.”

Read in the November issue how owners Mark Shaker, Lorin Ting and Megan Von Wald came up with their idea for the concept they call Flight Line based on conversations with their friends and neighbors.
