THUNDER BAY -- A proposed Wacky Wings in Thunder Bay is being held up by an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.

City council approved the rezoning of the former Port Arthur Prosvita on South High Street in March for the 50,000 square-foot restaurant and arcade, which has seven franchises in the province.

Some neighbours had opposed the development due to concerns about parking and noise.  On May 25, two opponent filed an appeal to the OMB, which has the power to overturn decisions by city councils. 

Wacky Wings co-owner Gary Walters saide they're disappointed, and any renovations on the building will be delayed until at least the fall.  The Sault Ste. Marie company currently has been trying to expand into the Thunder Bay market for more than four years.

The OMB hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20 at city hall.
