not sure if anyone caught Just Vino's most recent Facebook status update, but if you haven't, you can go look at it here.
According to a customer of mine who lives in the area, Just Vino's "long overdue maintenance" consists mainly of a slightly overdue renewal of their liquor license. Apparently the license, which was thought to run out at the end of October, had actually run out in September, in the sneaky way that liquor licenses are prone to do.
It is my understanding that the paperwork has been filed and "fast tracked" (...does the SLA have one of those? and how do you get on it?), and the owners hope to be back in the game in a matter of weeks.
here's hoping, and cheers to you fellas.
in non-news, i've been considering some ideas for a set of running features for this blog -- as the hearsay i come across isn't always as dramatic or newsworthy as some of the recent stuff (slow news days happen, right?). a few things i hope to incorporate into this in the near future are as follows:
a "beneath the service" feature -- wherein DiningRumor airs the grievances common to all industry workers -- customers, we love you, you help us pay our bills -- but sometimes you drive us crazy. come, commiserate. or learn how to piss off your least favorite industry worker. its up to you.
an "industry spotlight" -- some of you have places you go because you love the people that work there. what makes them good at what they do? we'll take a look.
"whatever happened to...?" -- some restaurants succeed. some don't. with the rash of closings, openings, moves and remodels, its apparent that it's tough business to keep up with. what are the factors that shut down a restaurant? this is kind of a labor intensive idea -- investigative, really -- so it will probably take more time to get a post like this together. but sit tight.
anyhow, that's all for now.
follow me on facebook and twitter for mini-updates!
