Bates Battaglia is opening a restaurant? In Raleigh? *grumble* Why exactly am I in Johnstown again? I ask myself that all too often. Anyhow, looks like Bates and his daddy, who has spent years in the restaurant business are looking to close a deal in North Raleigh for some space to open up some digs of their own.

Get the details here.

The article also mentions Bates becoming a free agent in July. Yet another detail I'm waiting to see some news on. Again, no ill-wishes towards your career deary, but Johnstown would welcome you *grin*
