The Broad Axe at Butler and Skippack Pikes in central Montco, you may recall, has been under historic renovation for some time. Originally, the Belgian concept Beneluxx (operated by Michael Naessens of Old City's Beneluxx and Eulogy) was supposed to open there. That deal fell through. Construction is moving along, says inn owner Vic Meitner, who said he expects to sign a lease shortly with a new operator. An anonymous posting today on Chowhound.com from someone purporting to be a new operator is a tad optimistic, according to Meitner. He says he is in talks with several parties about running the Broad Axe and has nothing in writing.
