Luis Perez writes in today's Times:
The old mural of San Remo, Italy, is still on the wall inside Basta's Ristorante, but the color on the walls has changed from white and blue to warm crimson.
In about a month or so, the sign bearing the name of the Italian restaurant that closed earlier this year will change, too. The new name: Chanele's. The new motto: "Where Grown Folks Play."
Co-owner Philip Morrison, a former Pinellas County bailiff who left the Sheriff's Office last year, says the restaurant and club at 1625 Fourth St. S, will be a casual dining spot with a wide repertoire of nightly entertainment.
"I see it as many things for many people," said Morrison, 43, who is making his first foray into the restaurant and club business. He named the restaurant after his 23-year-old daughter.
I visited the new restaurant a few weeks ago and was impressed by the renovations underway. Please stop in and tell your friends. New businesses need neighborhood support.
