COMING SOON
Possibly as soon as this September, the reopening of The
Granada (a Leal Project in Morgan Hill) will provide an array
of musical offerings. Plans call for an entertainment venue
that can accommodate up to 300 people for music, comedy
shows, bands, dancing, fashion shows, weddings and special
events. The completely redone Granada will be a dinner hall,
music and theater venue. Frank Leal describes it as a “modern
rat pack” location that will have “style and class.” The dinning
component of the Granada will be able to serve three-and-four
course meals.
Further down the road, The Stomping Ground in Gilroy and
the hotel that will be built by Leal in Morgan Hill will also have
music components.
Dick Clark once said “Music is the sound track of your life.“
The sound track of our lives in South County is sounding
pretty good these days.
