Atlanta’s iconic Canoe Restaurant will reopen its doors on Monday
, November 23, 2009 after the flooding that overtook Atlanta in September. Located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, Canoe bore the brunt of the flood, with the water level reaching almost six feet in the main dining room. The restaurant received enormous support from the Atlanta community with an outpouring of assistance and kind words from loyal patrons. After 10 weeks of renovations and rebuilding, Canoe will reopen just in time for the holiday season.

Be sure to stop by and give them some business to help defray the losses to the staff and owners! Happy Holidays Canoe!

Hopefully their insurance had loss of income coverage. I’m sure it did.

Drove by during the last storm and it looked like the water might get in again. Glad to hear it did not delay the reopening. You might want to consider putting it up on stilts.
