Question about downtown Cincinnati business

[jlawrence01]

I noticed that the place was shut down last weekwnd when I noticed that the noted sign was gone.

The drinks and the hot dogs were not all that bad and not much different than any other place.

I hated to go there because the owner was unfriendly. He refused to either give change or to give extra change with purchase. With a little more variety, he could have made a lot more money.

The place had to suffer a bit with all the construction that had gone on in the area.

Most long term downtown small businesses have survived only because they have been willing to move, sometimes several times depending on the latest urban renewal project. That place has been there for at least 40 years.

So, do you think that is the end of the California Orange Bar? Is there any chance that someone might buy it and reopen it? Or, is it going to meet with the wrecking ball?
