Years ago, my husband took me to brunch at a particular diner in downtown because he thought I would like the name. Let’s just say it was because I was writing my werewolf books at the time.<\/p>\n
The diner moved to Wolf Street here in the city. I never made it to that location, but when they took over the former hotdog stand near where I was working, I was in seventh heaven. The. Best. Hamburgers. Ever. The counter people got to know me and my order very well.<\/p>\n
Then one day, no one answered the phone.<\/p>\n
This went on for a week or so. No sign on the restaurant (I looked). About a month later, someone did answer the phone and told me they were relocating, I should try the new place. Um, no. Wouldn’t work for my lunch hour.<\/p>\n
I passed by their “new” location several times over a couple of years, always on my way to or from somewhere when stopping for a meal wasn’t feasible. Then I saw on social media that location was closing and they were moving closer to where I live. Hallelujah! I just couldn’t forget those hamburgers.<\/p>\n
They spent several months remodeling the new site. I kept trying to get there, but life. Until I managed to book my car inspection at a time that would allow me to stop in have lunch. Except when I got there, there was a sign on the door. They were abandoning yet another building and moving back to their “original” location in one of the northern suburbs.<\/p>\n
My husband thinks they’re criminals. I don’t know what to think. They seem to building hop every two to three years.<\/p>\n
Boy do I miss those burgers.<\/p>\n
