This was completely unnecessary and I read every word. I love the detective work.

Truly love this kind of deep dive into the origins of a place, purely for the sake of getting a sense of how it used to be.

Thank you! These are some of my favorite pieces to write. I'm doing another one, which surfaced both obituaries for the husband-wife team who owned the restaurant in question, plus a (mistaken!) article about the building written when the place closed. It's amazing what you'll dig up and also how there's an error rate that makes it hard to piece it back together.
