I know this might seem like it should be in the other forum but it is more about the economy...

I broke my normal tradition of the VK Saturday night Prime rib dinner and had gone to Lowes in Gilford instead. Needed to Christmas lights. So we (Kathy and I) decided to go to the Christmas Island Steak House instead, as VK would be closed by the time we got back. Sorry SAMIAM! We hadn't been there in a long time. Well upon entering the empty establishment (About 8pm) we learned that last night was their last night. Seems the economy, summer weather, etc was forcing an early closing of the place. We had a good talk with the waitress "Missy" and learned that some had gotten part time jobs at other places others had not. We felt bad. This economy is not doing anyone any favors for sure.
Anyway I left a her a $40.00 tip. I'm not rich but I hope it helped a bit seeing as there was no one else in there. And a rainy night to boot! Depressing to me. (The rib was great though.)
