In any of those scenarios, it would make sense for them to stay in place and capture as much business as possible up ’til the last minute. Rumors of their demise would likely undercut that effort, and/or spook their staff into bolting which would further undermine their ability to keep going to the last. Probably the landlord is well within their rights to post those signs, but for a third party to broadcast them all over town seems like meddling to me. Amaryn’s Thai Bowl has been, IMO, an asset on Decatur’s restaurant scene. I hate to see them go, but I REALLY hate to think of their suffering additional (and unnecessary) woe because a twittering busybody couldn’t keep stil. I’m reminded of the stereotypical switchboard operator on a small town’s central exchange. Not the highest and best use of Twitter, IMO….although I am not sure what is.)

(Yes, the more I’ve thought about this, the more irate I’ve become. But possibly this constitutes my major vent for this week. Unless DM throws Dollar General back on the table!)
