City Orders Parkside Bistro Torn Down

Wed., June 2, 2010

The owner of the Parkside Bistro at the edge of Coeur d'Alene's City Park is under a lease with BNSF Railway Co., which owns the land. But now, the railroad is abandoning that unused rail line and that piece of the land will revert to the city. Eskelin's is one of two businesses that have been informed their leases will not be renewed. (Kathy Plonka / The Spokesman-Review)

Cannon Hill Industries has torn down the Parkside Bistro, at the northeast edge of City Park. On Tuesday, workers stripped the inside of the popular tavern. Alison Boggs told HucksOnline a few minutes ago that nothing’s left of the building but a slab and debris now — and the debris is being quickly removed. Alison will provide HBO and SR readers with more info after she contacts City Attorney Mike Gridley.
