By LYNETTE HAALAND, Four Points News
The Boat House Grill — one of Four Points’ oldest eateries — is closing on Sunday after 19 years of serving the local community.
“It’s been a long time coming. It’s heart-wrenching and freeing,” said owner Tracy Collins, who started the restaurant in Feb. 8, 1999 and built it from scratch at 6812 RM 620, at the heart of Four Points near RM 2222.
She turned the tiny burger and fish joint into offering much more with a staff of 15 employees, most who are full-time.
