not my Coffee Table!

gwynnegaI found out last night that my beloved Coffee Table is closing, because someone has bought the building. Apparently the building may be torn down and replaced with condos. Gah! A few years back some other company had planned to build condos there but reopen the Coffee Table after construction, but that deal fell through.
It's a very personal loss to me. The place is a block away from where I live. I've spent countless hours there with friends over the years. I've picked up countless breakfasts and lunches and dinners and coffees for myself. It's my Beloved Neighborhood Place.
I was already planning on having lunch with a friend there this weekend before I heard the news. I suspect I will spend a lot of time there between now and when it shuts down on September 12th.
The other Coffee Table restaurant, in nearby Eagle Rock, will still be open, and I will go there from time to time, but it won't be the same.
