Hey there – do you (or any of the readers) know what happened to Rockit Boutique on the Square?? Went by there this morning, and the store was empty!! I still had a few dresses to buy. No indication of them moving, so I assume they closed shop. Bummer.

Decatur city staff confirms that the boutique closed quietly about a week ago.

We ate [at El Tesoro] earlier tonight and our waitress told us they had a very limited menu because it was actually their last night. She said they had new owners, but the same kitchen manager, and would be reopening in a month with a new name, but many of the same menu items. On our way out, we overheard another waitress telling her table they were out of a lot of things tonight since they were closing and would *maybe* be reopening in a few months.

Nelliebelle writes in that “Ashram Wellness” is opening in the current Nectar space.

Ashram Wellness has a website, and just like Nectar, it includes a quote from Hippocrates.  As such, I’m thinking this might be an extension of Nectar.

Otherwise, it’s there’s just a lot of coincidental Hippocrates quoting going on.

John Kessler tweeted last night…

Nathalie’s Fish House in Decatur has closed. Never once tried that joint…

FMFats confirmed it for us with a walk-by, because you know that Kessler guy can’t be trusted.

Classy Fashion is no longer Classy.. nor is it fashion.. actually.. its not anything.. Just watched the Closing unfold before our eyes.

UPDATE: FM Fats reports that he spoke with Depeaux owner Bill Sharkey today and was told that the Depeaux isn’t entirely closed and is still open on weekends.

It opened to renovation controversy (after a $250,000 move funded by the DPA) and high Cajun-food-hopes.  It closed quitely and without notice.

Until now.

A few days after a major refreshening of its “Business For Sale” page with the Shumacher Group, Carl reports that it looks like the Depeaux (in the old Decatur depot) has finally closed its doors for good.

No hours posted, mail slot sealed shut…no sign of life. BBQ joint moving in?

It must be January.  The closings continue.

Quizno’s has up and gone. There is a sign on the door thanking their customers and explaining that their rent was increased. It appears that all the kitchen equipment has been removed.
