Yeah, I've been in a Facebook conversation with Dana McMahan about this ... my bad, should have posted here. I agree that it's sad to see any local close, and more so when it's got a long heritage. I have to say, though, that I was sad-but-not-surprised. What filled a need in its early years became a little less relevant with the arrival of bulk bins at Rainbow Blossom and Whole Foods. The arrival of Penzey's, first as an online competitor and then with a bricks-and-mortar operation in Louisville, had to be the final straw.
