It must have been the night for restaurant closings.
We lost a restaurant icon in Charlotte last night because they lost their lease. For 45 years the Athens Restaurant had been open 24 hours every day. This was conveniently located down the street from the Double Door Inn and a fun place to watch people at 3:00am . The older ladies that worked there didnt let it phase them. They just kept the coffee flowing and the orders coming out of the kitchen...but oh the stories that they could tell of the sights they have seen in the wee hours of the morning.
Hopefully they will find another location (with a larger parking lot)and they will continue their tradition of feeding us in the wee hours of the morning. (No Waffle House close to that location!)
