The restuarant business is a volatile industry. Many can't make it past the two-year mark.
But some restaurants that closed their doors enjoyed devoted followings. Think: JC's Clubhouse, Shanghai Pavillion and more.
Which leads to the question: which eatery from the past do you miss the most? Tell us in the comments.
Search your memory because Louie's is on Main street Lowwer Main Street to be correct.

Also, The Indian Garden near the train was a very good and affordable place with very good Indian food, and a rather good buffet. No other buffets in town.
Businesses should offer discounts when you patronize another business. For example Go to the movies and out to dinner show your movie stub for a discount on your taB. Maybe Frozen yogurt or ice cream discount with movie stub.
And the other topless bar was where Hickorys is now and the Salem Inn located up near Uncle Guisuppes. I was just a kid my early teenage years a student at Weber Junior High School too young to go to any bar BUT when we would try to look in the windows to get a look at the dancers when going to the Port Deli the manager of the bar would come out and make us go away. Our community had 2 topless bars going in the 1970s - does anyone miss those topless bars?
The Bayview Hotel on Fith Ave for the downtrotten was a sad place. A set of social issues like addiction were here and Port Alert now Port Counseling Center was established. Over the years the topless bars and the nighclubts are gone. Welcomed has been Hadley House North Shore Unitrarian Unversilist Congregation and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Cohen, Esq. who spearheaded this apartment house funding raising efforts for senior citizen housing on Fifth Ave where the Bayview had been.
