Two days after your correspondent spent an informative hour and a half with the amazing Mike Kopp – time well spent to scan a future that still eludes fully half the current city council – the Courier-Journal’s Dale Moss devoted his Sunday column to the undeniable New Albanian renaissance that Mike is doing so very much to facilitate:
Downtown New Albany shows signs of vitality; Restaurant, other businesses a step in the right direction.
Kopp, 44, is a New Albany native who sells and leases commercial real estate. If he wins all for downtown that he envisions, a street should be renamed in his honor. He's talking a regional arts center and a plaza and condos. A jazz club is also in the plans.
The restaurant in question is the Bistro New Albany, which coincidentally will be celebrating its first year in business tonight, on Monday evening, April 30, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. All readers are invited to come and celebrate.
Owner, chef and occasional misfit clown Dave Clancy will be providing free appetizers, and there'll be a cash bar for beer (including NABC - note that I'll be buying a few rounds of progressive pints for the like-minded), wine and BNA's recently acquired and steadily growing selection of top-shelf spirits. Go here for a current beer list.
See you there? I hate to miss the NBA playoffs, especially after last night's stellar Golden State triumph over the heavily favored Mavs, but BNA is more important for New Albany.
