QUARTER/quarter

Restaurant and Wine Bar

Why name a restaurant QUARTER/quarter?  A quarter/quarter, in rural terms, is 40 acres.  Forty acres of land has great historical significance in America.  In 1832 the smallest area of land that could be acquired was reduced to the 40 acre quarter-quarter section, and this size parcel became entrenched in American mythology. After the Civil War freed slaves were reckoned to be self-sufficient with "40 acres and a mule".  To our ancestors, forty acres was synonymous with the word opportunity.  A quarter/quarter was the opportunity to earn a living, become a productive part of a farming community, and provide for your family.
