Renovations on the Hotel Talisi have begun, with the brick wall that was partially destroyed during the fire being rebuilt first. According to Wylie Troupe, one of the owners, the roof will be next. Blueprints have been submitted for the interior renovations, and although it will be sometime next year before the restoration is expected to be complete, we in Tallassee are anxiously awaiting its rebirth!

Ann Street Café opened in July, with Patty Elliott and Gwen Holly, the other owners of the Hotel Talisi, operating it. The café offers sandwiches, soups, and salads, with a weekday lunch special. Specialties include homemade chicken salad, hot roast beef sandwiches, lasagna, and chicken pot pie. Patty makes delicious homemade desserts and is available to make special dishes for parties, family reunions, tailgating, and wedding receptions. She also makes beautiful wedding special occasion cakes!

The downtown merchants sponsored a 4th of July Patriotic pedestrian parade this past summer and have several events planned for later this year and for 2011. Follow us on facebook to keep up with us!

Downtown Tallassee is growing! The Computer Doctor and Heels and More recently opened, and we are all anxiously awaiting the opening of Ann Street Café. Renovation plans for the Hotel Talisi are also underway.

Many people asked what happened to the ghosts at the Hotel after it burned. Sightings have been made all over downtown, including inside the Tallassee Florist and Tiger Paw. Just two days after the fire everyone could smell chicken and dressing in Suzannah's Photography studio, and two days later it was the scent of lavender. We are sure the ghosts will be happy when the Hotel is rebuilt and they can go back to their stompin grounds, so to speak!
