Facebook post from Bill and Susi Smith:
Shady Lane Cafe
It is with a profound, bittersweet sadness that Susi and I would like to announce that we will soon be leaving our little Shady Lane Cafe behind. We are leaving it in the hands of a wonderful young couple. Who are eager and enthusiastic to continue, improve. and grow on our fifteen year legacy. The time has come for us both physically and spiritual to move on to new adventures. We have been so blessed to serve all of you. We have made so many new friends. Shared in so many tears and laughter. We have been given true love and support, that has sustained us in the best of times and the worst of times. And most of all, we have made about a million stomachs happy and full. We will continue on for the next month or so. Working with the new owners to assure a smooth transition for them. So come on by! Let us introduce you to the new owners. Let us thank you for helping us become a loved institution in our fair city. No tears. But no promises. There will more news to come in the coming weeks. But for now, let it be known that our little Cafe and you, all our dear customers, have changed us and made us so much richer. And know this as well. You are loved!
