Really sorry to hear. Don Eddie's was considered a local landmark. I asked a local cop and no Jewish arsonists have been seen around town lately...

You don't see them. They're stealthy.

Well, we did have some lightning last night. The arsonist must have been running behind schedule. Maybe he got in touch with a cross burning southern
Baptist to cover for him???

It's a shame to hear this. We had quite a few yummy meals at Don Eddie's. And the pictures in the lobby were so wonderful

I only hope that the Old Mill recovers and that no one was hurt. That place was classic.

The Old Mill was classic when Sr. Al Vela was there. After that it was just a place.
Sr. Vela was a class act. I had the pleasure of meeting him and working with him.
So the Old Mill will never recover to the Class place it once was.
But what burned down was not the old mill it was don eddie a few doors over.

And since he sold it, the Old Mill has certainly had interesting times, as you so well know. 
It could have made an interesting Novela.

Your Welcome Bob
Sr. Vela was the founder of the Old Mill. He passed away a few years ago.
In 1990 I believe is when he sold it to Gaston. Al Vela always was sorry he did that.
Al Vela was a gentlemen to which I had the Honor to know.
He was a chef at the Waldorf Astoria before he came here. He cooked for Kings, Presidents and many famous people. People from all over the world would
fly into the Old Mill for Brant hunting. They would stay with Al and his Beautiful wife Dorthy and he would cook for them.
My life has been enriched for knowing such a wonderful man.

We stayed at the Old Mill in March and walked over to Don Eddies for dinner and drinks. The service was great because there was only our group of 7
and 2 other tables of 2 in the place on a saturday night. The food was horrible and told the owner about it, he comped all our meals and only charged
us for our drinks. That was not expected but I think they knew they were serving inferior food...
Sorrry to see the place is gone now, I have had some fun times there !!! BTW: the resturant at Old Mill looked to be a long way from being ready to
open for business...

I am working on selling the Novela. I am just finishing part 2 . the Novela continues in Vicente Guerrero at the beach and Costa Brava.
The end is near.
Old Mill can re-open but it will Never be a classic place again.

To Jews relaxing on the beach in Miami. They strike up a conversation:
I was in the garment industry but we had a fire so I retired here and now clip coupons.
What a coincidence! I was also in the garment industry but we had a flood so now I'm retired here clipping coupons.
So...How do you start a flood?

I think we need to get something straight...
From looking at the posted photos, the Old Mill did not burn down.
What seems to have burned down was Don Eddies' restaurant, front office, tackle shop, continental breakfast buffet area, and all the priceless
historic pictures.
I feel that the original poster, 'wadeinthewater' needs to amend his (her) post. The title is very misleading, and Nomads would not
intentionally make a misleading statement like that.

Agreed... and she is the new WON reporter, so she should get her facts corrected... Maybe her source is where the error began?
