When we were in Bloomington this past weekend, down on Kirkwood, we noticed that along with the Village Deli remodeling (same menu, same somewhat baffled service, more room), they need to change their menu.
Thereon is the blurb
has been for the past few years. But that's going to have to change, because that place across the street
has now closed.
This is a minor victory for downtown Bloomington - albeit a pyrrhic one, since there's now one less public restroom for the skater kids, and the Starbucks, Urban Outfitters, et al. have established themselves elsewhere on the street...

For those in the audience not familiar with the non-traditional style of the building: that was a McDonald's.
A few days after the shutdown some folks gathered on the stoop to drum a bit and hold up signs along the lines of "And Stay Out".
Meanwhile, out on the Western fringes of town, a Grey's Cafe has opened, ready to serve 800 per hour as they pass from Lowes to Menards in search of the perfect solution to their next home improvement project, specially designed to gussy up their ginormous but cheaply built suburban monstrosity home-thing.

I swear, my brain always refused to admit that there was a Micky-D's along Kirkwood. I know it was there, but when I try to remember it, there's a fuzzy black shroud around that portion of the picture.
