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.

Oooh. I love the idea of a gallery. I like the art shows at Someday and Diesel, but I always feel like I'm intruding on someone's private conversation when I try to look at the work. It would be nice, and I think a perfect addition to Davis, to have a gallery space there. If someone wants to spearhead that effort I will get behind them.

People who've been here a while may remember Gallery Bershad, which used to be in the Dover Plaza building behind the theatre. The space doubled as an architecture firm's office during the day. Unfortunately, it closed about five years ago.
