This one hit hard. We have lost so many of our wonderful traditional bars and restaurants in recent years but I only heard about Modesto closing today on their Instagram, and only after the fact (they shut for good last Saturday) so there was no time to stop by one more time to say goodbye. There’s no closure. And the especially frustrating thing is that I had actually planned to go for lunch there last week but then changed plans, mostly due to mobility issues (I can’t just walk there anymore). Damn damn damn. Now they’re just gone.
