Did you know the famous
Blanche Hotel that houses Tucker's
was built in 1901 and was once a popular hangout of Al Capone?
The Late Governor Cone also made his home at the Blanche.
If either Capone or Governor Cone were here today, they
would definitely recommend
Tucker's Fine Dining.
The hotel was popular because it was on a main route
from North to South. In the early days it bragged of a
swimming pool and indoor "parking" for horses and cars.
There have been
persistent rumors that the old Blanche Hotel is haunted--things that
move in the night and even visions seen fleetingly gliding down the
halls.
Come join Tucker's
for history and a
fine meal. On Friday and Saturday you can enjoy live
entertainment and if you are lucky you may even get a glimpse of the
past that is the Blanche Hotel.
