more photos from the flood

As I mentioned on Monday night, the restaurant we've reserved for our rehearsal dinner got absolutely walloped in the Great Flood of 2009. I haven't heard any further reports on its condition or how long it will take to recover, but a friend of mine who lives in the neighborhood shared a few more photos with me.

Many special events at Canoe take place in the river garden, which has two tents and a lovely, winding pathway along the banks of the Chattahoochee. This is what it usually looks like:


The tents themselves are pretty fancy too. Check out the inside:

After Monday's deluge, this is what the river garden and tents looked like:

Holy crap! Yeah, those are the tops of the tents. I'm sure the water has receded in the intervening days, and I'll probably post again once I hear what their outlook for the future is, but I just had to share that picture with y'all.

Hope everyone is staying high and dry!
