Joe's Cafe: Hiatus

Okay, I really like Joe's Cafe. Have scarcely ever been there, but really liked it each of the couple times there. It's funny to think that Bill Christman's over-sized studio-gallery-drinking spot was able to last as long as it did minus some of the City's paperwork, especially when the Wash U. throngs began to descend on the space. Nonetheless...

It's closed. For now.

And civic treasure Lori White noted this fact, something which I've also not seen in print or online anywhere else. Here's her impassioned plea for a reopening.
