INSIDE SCOOP

-- Compiled by the Daily Pilot staff

A little nostalgia here and there can be wonderful. But let’s admit

it. Whoo7 isn’tf7 dying to find out what a Dennis Rodman-style Josh

Slocum’s restaurant will be all about.

Well, at least one woman, who shall remain nameless, seemed to agree

with us. Although the Worm hasn’t even applied his finishing touches to

the seafood joint, she had to take a peek. Completely drunk, that is.

“We weren’t even open for business yet,” said Kevin Finegold, the

restaurant’s owner. “And some woman walked in from the street and passed

out.”

Finegold’s employees first tried the nice approach. They ordered her a

cab to get her home. When that didn’t work, they called in the cops, who

arrested the woman on suspicion of disorderly conduct under the influence

of alcohol at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday and took her away to sleep it off.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the biggest news in

town, Finegold’s a buddy of Rodman’s. The glamorous ex-basketball star

helped out with some cash to give Josh Slocum’s a new coat of paint and

add a couple of leopard skin chairs.

Finegold said that he’s open for business and still serves the old

menu, adding that Rodman’s vision for the remodeled place is fast coming

to fruition.

Don’t worry. We’ll tell you when it’s ready. And if you don’t want to

check out the planned “nouveau Latino cuisine” for yourself, we’ll gladly

do it for you. Or had you already figured that one out?
