Hello A-J readers!
This week has been busy, with news of a longtime restaurant closure, a hotel for sale, and a mix of business closings and openings. Let’s dive in to the highlights.
One of the biggest shakeups since the month began was the sudden closing of Nora’s Mexican Restaurant, 417 Frankford Ave. The restaurant had served the community for 25 years. Nora announced through social media that it was a heartbreaking decision, but needed so their family could focus on their health. In a later post, she also asked for prayers for her husband, Sergio.
In a similar vein of closures, The Baymont by Wyndham Lubbock, 601 Avenue Q, is accepting bids to buy the property months after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Bids are being accepted through Aug. 18 and can be made by contacting Keith Worsham at 404-514-0242 or kworsham@hilcoglobal.com; Weston Worsham at 404-304-4993 or wworsham@hilcoglobal.com; or Jamie Coté at 203-561-8737 or jcote@hilcoglobal.com.
Recent openings for the week include:
There won’t be a column next week, so we’ll be back on Aug. 23. However, next week will include details on a local scuba business’s incredible calm in a Caribbean storm. In the meantime, email me about your favorite local coffee/drink place. They might be featured in the next Fall Coffee Review.
As always, thank you for reading and supporting the A-J.
