It just never stops does it? I just learned via the veritably omniscient Jeremiah Moss that Cafe Gigi right down here on 9th Street is gone. I probably hadn't stepped in there in a decade, but I still recall a number of long, lingering meals here back in the 90's.
At the risk of sounding tastelessly histrionic, I almost feel like I'm living in London during the Blitz. "Wot? Mister Thwaite's at #45 was shelled by the Luftewaffe? I was just there! Now it's a pile of rubble! Blimey!" Seriously, though, nowadays you just blink and yet another storied, age-old neighborhood institution is gone forever.
Cheers to Jeremiah for the photo, by the way.
