Sauce is toast...

Well no, it's not toast exactly - it's just out of business.

Old news? I walked by this morning and the windows were papered over. There is a note on the door saying something about "circumstances beyond our control" etc. and that a new resturant will open in that location April 1st. I never actually went there. It seemed a bit "too cool mall style" for my tastes but it's better than another bank.

Seems like there are a lot of street level vacancies in the Sq. these days. Rents too high? Not enough traffic for more food/coffee places? Or parking for serious retail?

Be nice if a good gallery opened but the chances of that are probably slim to none.

try hosting a game night there that isn't CCGs or warhamster.

My recollection was that the old location was similarly set up to optimize for games-you-and-I-don't-play. Am I misremembering? As I said, I'm just curious, because in my head, the total space and tables seem pretty similar.

The space is definitely smaller, for both the store and the game room, but they've dedicated about the same amount of square footage to selling and playing Magic and Warhammer. So other stuff is pretty marginalized, and if there's _any_ scheduled game event going on, then every table is in use with it.

On the other hand, it seems that with the fresh start they are keeping the downstairs gameroom a lot cleaner than the old place... I used to be embarrassed to bring people there, it was so gross.
