Workers say the dinner business is no longer enough to justify staying open, although the lunch crowd is always good. I'll miss the place, since I currently have breakfast there two or three times a week. Sunday's supposed to be their last day.
Don't really understand the "slow dinner crowd" statement, though, since it doesn't seem to have changed much over the years. I suspect that the rent went up while the customer count remained the same. It will be interesting to see what happens with the space. |
