Viki has finally decided it’s time to continue the next chapter in her life and move on. They’d love to find a buyer (and there’s still time) but they’re closing later this month regardless.  They will have a party on the 20th sponsored by Labrys magazine and a final closing night party for everyone on the evening of the 26th with whatever food and alcohol is left.

If you’ve ever wanted to open a restaurant and bar in a prime location, here’s your chance!

Indeed.  Best of luck Viki!
