Heather refers us to this post on Saba’s Facebook page…

The Road is Open, The Sidewalk is Open, Please help us stay Open. We understand that many of you have been discouraged with the road work in front of Saba. We are open. For us to survive this nightmare, we need your help. Please visit us at Saba Emory. Without your patronage, you are looking at the last weeks of Saba in the Emory Village. Thanks for support over the years. We hope to see you soon.

A Decatur mom writes in that Tastings has closed and that they have a “sign up on their door saying thanks for the patronage, but we are now closed.

Kelly confirms…

Despite our best efforts, we were not able to attract the business that we needed in order to stay afloat in this struggling economy.

Thanks to all the Decaturites who supported us and on behalf of Deb and myself, it was a pleasure to get to know those of you who frequented Tastings. Best regards.

All the best to Kelly and Deb.

There’s a rumor floating around this morning that Tastings: A Wine Experience is closing.

Owner Kelly Resignola tells DM the rumor is not true, and that she is grateful for the steady business they have been maintaining.

Sounds like a good reason to stop by for a drink.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle is announcing that Ruby Tuesday will be closing 70 of its 714 restaurants in the next year or so.

But details of specific closings won’t be announced until January 7th, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see whether Decatur’s often vacant location will be effected.
