Fairhope, Alabama thefairhopetimes.blogspot.com     FOR JULY AND AUGUST The city council voted to totally suspend the Blind Tiger Fairhope's rent for the city's building on the pier for the next two months while the waterfront renovation project wraps up.  One of the restaurant's owner's (Brent Barkin) had requested relief during the last council meeting before the entrance/parking area was to be closed for necessary work for about a week, causing the restaurant to have to close too; mayor Sullivan was assigned to negotiate. Their rent, 3% of monthly gross income, had already been cut in half earlier this year.  The fountain/rose garden area is set to reopen next month, but construction will continue in the south beach park area until around October. http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheFairhopeTimes
