The old post is getting long so I thought I would start a new thread for the contest. The challenge is to pick the week (starting with a Monday) that the first establishment would open (as defined by serving food or drink for money). The reward is a free drink at the Perch ($10). Below is the list of guesses with the first listed for a given date having priority for the prize.
