We are writing in reference to a plan, outlined in the "Over the Fence" column of 19 December 2007, to move another Anthony's to the waterfront.
Does another "high-end" restaurant really seem like a need for the Marina, or would something more affordable and "family friendly" make sense? How about Colonel Sanders, or Ivar's Fish and Chips?
Affordable, fast, finger food!

Editor's note: A caller last week asked the Times/News where, exactly, the proposed Anthony's "Hearthfire Grill" restaurant would be located in the Des Moines Marina. Earline Byers, who wrote about the "second Anthony's" in her Dec. 19 "Over the Fence" column, confirms it would be at the current site of the public boat launch, which is targeted for elimination.
