Margaretville's Cheese Barrel, gutted by Irene, re-vamps and re-opens

The Cheese Barrel, a cafe and gourmet grocer on Main Street Margaretville, was inundated by Tropical Storm Irene's floodwaters on August 28, 2011. (Full disclosure: The Cheese Barrel is a Watershed Post advertiser.)

Sue Ihlo, the store's owner, moved her cafe across the street and re-opened for business last fall. On Saturday, the Cheese Barrel moved back across the street to its old location, which has been completely renovated with hardwood floors and a new layout. We visited that day to see the new space and took these photos.
