Fog and Time Out Pub, two beacons of Rockland night life have been off the scene for a few years now, but we're hearing Whispers that they might be maybe thinking about possibly considering reopening sometime soonish.
We're skeptical.
So we thought we'd start off our series on vacant, underused, and wasted Rockland Main St. buildings with a poll.
The Case For Fog
Sturdy building
Currently set up as a bar
Only closed because of COVID
Got over $110k in PPP loans (as far as we can tell, the most in Rockland for a restaurant that hasn't reopened)
The Case Against Fog
Still has tin foil on windows
Apparently don’t need/want to open?
The Case for TOP
Looking less likely to cave in lately
Owners appear interested in opening
Typar on front is a clear sign of things happening
New owners
Not Fog
The Case Against TOP
Questionable bones
Unclear what animals, molds, diseases, etc have taken up residence in the last 3 years
Which Will Open First?

Check back later this week, month, or year for more in the series!
