Disappointing news

While Kevin's been highlighting a lot of good news about store and restaurant openings recently (see here and here, for example) i was pretty disappointed to pass by the Red and White Market at University and Chapel Hill Rd. this morning and learn that they're shutting their doors for good this Friday. Whenever a part of Durham that was here when i first moved here disappears (and the Davis Bakery on Chapel Hill St. is at the top of that list) i feel like i've lost something worthwhile. It doesn't matter that something new and different comes along to take its place, at least not in the short term.

Oh, well. They've got a closeout on beef ribs for $.99 a pound. i'll stop by tonight and stock up and say goodbye.
