Unfortunately it does not appear to be in the online version, but a story in today's Daily Herald states that the project to 'renovate' Orient Beach will begin as scheduled in June. The finished project supposedly will provide for eight restaurants, four boutiques and a 'tourist market', whatever that is, plus restrooms and parking for 80 cars. The proprietors will have to vacate their premises for several months but are scheduled to be able to move back in to the new restaurants in September.

I honestly don't know how far down the beach this project is supposed to go, but it seems that there will be fewer restaurants than before, if there will only be eight restaurants, once they are finished?
