Another icon bites the dust because of the Covid 19 virus.

How many more small business will closed because of the coronavirus and their laid off staff will add to the high growing unemployment numbers???. IMO.

With such a loyal fan base, it sounds like they could'a reopened.
-- But they may have simply chosen to retire instead.
If it were me, I would'a tried to sell it as a going concern.

Wow, another change in my old neighborhood. Will be missed, but old location was “just right “ for true locals. The whole Uptown area changed a lot in past 10 years.

Bummer, one of possibly many Iconic/historic restaurants that will close their doors forever :-/

And the Stock Market is going gangbusters. Just more proof that stock values have zero relationship to reality.

Not as long a run as the Forum Cafeteria. The Forum was about the only place my highly parsimonious parents ever took us to eat. Sometimes when my Mom took us downtown on the bus with her to Dayton's to shop, she would bring us to the Forum for lunch.

It was cafeteria style, and I still remember the art deco styling. At that time, the motif was considered outdated. It was inexpensive and one of the reasons it was inexpensive was because they owners were too cheap to modernize. Later it became a classic - inadvertently preserved.

What would truly be a tragedy would be if Dudley Riggs Brave New Workshop closed.

The Brave New Workshop Comedy Theater (BNW), is a sketch and improvisational comedy theater based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The artists of the BNW have been writing, performing and producing live sketch comedy and improvisation performances for 61 years – longer than any other theater in the nation.

When I was in high school, in the late 1960s, BNW had an open (i.e., free) completely improvised session on Saturday nights, beginning about 11 pm after the regularly scheduled Saturday night show. One standing feature of the show was Dudley obtaining a copy of the Saturday night early edition of the Sunday morning Minneapolis Tribune. He would sit on a stool, and go through the paper, offering pithy and hilarious commentary. Very much like they used to say you could give Johnathan Winters a copy of the Yellow Pages, and he would leave you in stitches.

One that I still chuckle over happened when President Lyndon Johnson dispatched VP Hubert Humphrey on some foreign trip to represent the US. Riggs read the headline and the first sentence of the story, lowered the newspaper, and pushed his reading glasses down on his nose. Then peering over the top of this glasses at us he said, "OK - so President Johnson is sending Hubert Humphrey a broad."

It must have been five minutes before the laughter subsided enough for him to carry on.
