This always happens, doesn't it? It's a nice little spot which had its heart in the right place -- if places can be said to have hearts. Gentrification and the tech economy is one of the reasons it's not scary to go there anymore, but it also makes it economically unviable and has to close down. A tale as old as time. I'll be very sorry to see it go.
