I first saw the notice come up on Duncan’s blog today; apparently there’s a notice in the paper but since it’s an "E-edition" online I can’t point you to it: Tiger Lily, the downtown boutique store specializing in "eclectic home furnishings", is closing. I also received an email about it; there’s going to be a close-out sale this Saturday, March 1st. Other than that, I’m not sure on the timeline.

Duncan actually reported this first, yesterday, and then Lyle confirmed it on his blog yesterday as well. The owner of Denny’s partially … Continue reading →
Nothing on their website about it yet—or anywhere else that I know of—but I found out last night that Robby J’s Bistro is closed! As in, out of business. Apparently, Chef Jacques was calling folks who had reservations, and telling them personally about the closure.
