A Couple Things . . .

Remember this little restaurant I talked about back in May? I loved the originality of the "artwork" gracing the building's exterior.

Well, I'm sad to say that about a week or so ago, the windows were boarded up and yesterday, on my way to work, I saw paint crews painting over the building. Here's how the same view of the building looked tonight.

There seems to be notice of an application for beer and wine--or maybe alcohol--sales posted outside, so presumably it will reopen, but I'm afraid it won't have the same wonderful character. I never did stop there and try the food. I think the problem may have been that it was only open for breakfast and then lunch or dinner on weekends only, and most of us commuters passed by on weekdays. I have to think that if it had been open for dinner and takeout on weekdays, it would have been much more successful. Once again, though, it's returned to a plain, boring, old box of a building. I'll keep you posted on what happens if the new owners/operators do anything to make it more interesting.

Laurie, I know you left a comment on my blog the other day and said you had emailed me, but I never did get your email. I'm guessing there's some kind of incompatibility between our computers or something. Here's an idea: Pick any one of my older posts--you have a whole lot to chose from!--and leave a comment with your mailing address. Your comment will make it into my email and I'll go back and delete your comment from my blog once I get the address. That way, you won't have a bunch of blog readers showing up at your house, expecting you to cook them a Susan Branch dinner!

Finally, I thought I'd share with you a few photos a friend sent me. I think some people have too much time on their hands!

The weekend is almost here! Wooo-hoo! If you're looking for a Day of Beauty treatment, how about this one:

Thanks for visiting!
