NORTH PORT — A giant Christmas tree still stands tall in the lobby of the Olde World Restaurant, and lighted garlands continue to festoon some of the walls.
“We’re leaving it as part of the celebration,” said Teresa Skoczylas who, along with her husband, Joe, and sister-in-law, Christine Zagrobelny, co-owns the restaurant. This weekend, Olde World is marking its 25th anniversary.
