The End of an Era

 This restaurant has been in business since 1956.  My grandparents ate here, my parents - I met my husband here almost 20 years ago.

It was bought out in May, by Jacobs Entertainment, who has been buying up much of old 4th Street.  Originally they didn't intend to keep the restaurant, but then decided they would, ultimately killing a legacy.

Tomorrow a brand new menu debuts, having removed everything that the customer base has come to expect.  It's been comfort food, reliable soups, made from scratch recipes - which they've been failing on up to this point anyway.  What once was the best sausage gravy in town....

It's just a bummer to watch something you love be torn apart bit by bit.  It would have been better if they had just demolished it for the property they're really after.  Maybe build their own new restaurant instead of dragging down a historic local.

RIP.
