Waterfront going down, for now

Work crews on Monday began demolishing the Waterfront Restaurant in Anna Maria in preparation for a new facility that is planned to look exactly like the structure damaged in an arson fire March 17 - including the fireplace. Architect Gene Aubry said he detailed the interior with photographs and some appointments were salvaged. Owners Jason and Leah Suzor recently received preliminary site plan approval from the city commission to rebuild the restaurant. islander Photo: Keith Barnett
