Meaning of "Soon"

How about a break from all this election talk? Sound good?
Great, let's get some lunch at that new Indian & Nepali restaurant in Teele Square...

Oh wait - it's not open yet. Damn. It seems like forever since Top Top Thai shut down and it seems like forever since work started and the sign went up on Masala.

In late March I bumped into the owner of Masala as he and a contractor were leaving the restaurant. I asked when we could expect the place to be open for business and he told me, "April 15" - I guess I should have asked which year.
