MoNO Restaurant Closes - thank you, Economy.
Thanks to an underwhelming economy, MoNO Restaurant and Wine Bar closed their doors on Saturday after a little over six months of being open.

We loved MoNO, and loved having another locally owned business here in the neighborhood within easy walking distance. We loved the vibe of the place and couldn't help but consider the transformation that had turned it into such a lovely place compared to what it used to be. The contrast was amazing - as was the food, the wine, and the ambiance.

Here's a link to The Dude's first photos... and more photos, and even more photos. The Dude is a huge MoNO fan and a really great photographer!

One can't help but wonder if the bailout might magically work some spell to overcome the hardship and help Todd & Eloisa bring MoNO back sooner rather than later. ::fingers crossed::

Best wishes to Todd & Eloisa. Our thoughts are with you and we all hope that you can find a way to make it all work despite the (#&#&^#(=)*#$$ economy. Maybe a new, improved President might help?
