If they are back very far will that not eat into a lot of the parking? Any idea on plans for parking in that area. I know there was some land behind the former parking area but would have to be excavated for suitable parking.

There is quite a bit of open land behind where they are. I think in one of the pictures posted the other day, it looked like you could see the curbs of where the parking lot is supposed to be.

So, why can't they change their name to "Lime Fever"?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> As far as the tenants changing the colors, they will not be finished until painted outside, so it makes sense to me for them to be painted outside anyway. Aloha also had a blue paint scheme, by the way, which would seem to be pretty popular a color for the Caribbean..

It's about soccer above all else, and manifests in wearing orange to support the national team.

Very well could be but I believe the proprietors of Orange Fever are French.

Maybe, maybe not. The vast majority of their clients are probably American tourists, who wouldn't have any knowledge of that..

Forgive me for asking what may be obvious, but what are these pictures of exactly? Have they knocked down all the rickety beach bars at the south end? When dd this happen. Someone mentioned Orange Fever above - I may just have to go to another island if I can't get their pizza for lunch!
