On word that Carm's Coneys shuttered and Opah teetering on the brink, here's a bit of good news — an update on the Beard Papa's post from last week:
Our tipster, NP, writes in that Beard Papa's in MainPlace has reopened, saved from oblivion by new owners.
He writes:
“What an odd turn of events! As of this morning (Nov 21st 2008) the Main Place Beard Papa's is open again.”
“From talking to the employees they did shut down and it was to be a permanent closure however they have a new owner who reopened this week”
“So let's hope they stay open this time.”
