Second Ground Zero Blues Club to open

PHILADELPHIA — Actor Morgan Freeman is opening his second blues club in Mississippi.

Freeman announced that he will open a Ground Zero Blues Club at the Pearl River Resort run by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in Neshoba County. The original club, owned with businessman Bill Luckett, is in Clarksdale. The club will be in the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino, one of the Choctaws' two casinos near Philadelphia.

Freeman said construction will begin this month with a completion date in October.

Freeman and tribal chief Beasley Denson said the club will feature blues music and the restaurant will serve fried or grilled catfish sandwiches and the Highway 61 Burger.
