I’ve had just about enough of this. In 1997, illusionist David Copperfield promised the town of Passamaquoddy he would open the most exciting restaurant in the tri-county area. By 1998, work had hardly been done other than putting up the billboard. I remember running into Copperfield in 2004 and asked him what was up… He said “Oh, I’ll have to tell you later, I gotta catch my bus.” It wasn’t til later that I realized Passamaquoddy doesn’t have a bus anywhere near where he was.

Now, ten years later the signs still up, and COPPERFIELD’S MAGIC UNDERGROUND still hasn’t broken ground. I know we all bought into the magical elevator that was to bring people into the restaurant, appearing out of nowhere… And I know we bought into the illusions with the server, but I think we have to have a reality check here. I mean we are not a stupid hick town here in Passamaquoddy so I think it is important that we face facts: 10 years on and absolutely no construction, COPPERFIELDS MAGIC UNDERGROUND restaurant is not going to be open until August at the earliest.
