Got an email from my brother today telling me that the barbecue place in the small town down the road where we've been going about once a month since the late 1970's is closing. They've been bought out by a car dealership. So my friend Amanda and I drove out for a final, memorial pig-out. I can't believe they're closing. They're an institution. And they're being replaced by asphalt and SUV's. This is progress?
They said the car dealership even bought their recipes-- and they didn't sound happy about it. It made me wonder if they had a loan at the bank and the car place bought it out-- and the recipes were part of the collateral on the loan or something.
*sigh* Goodbye Shorty's. We'll miss you.
