Tiger Lily downtown is closing

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.

Robby J’s Bistro… closed!…?

Apparently, Chef Jacques was calling folks who had reservations, and telling them personally about the closure. It’s possible that I misunderstood the message, so perhaps this should be treated as a rumor, but I tried calling Robby J’s several times today to confirm, and got no … Continue reading →
