Theater Square Deli

I didn't see any notice of it here (perhaps I overlooked it) but Theatre Square Deli closed a couple or weeks ago. The sign on the door said his lease was up and his mother had passed away. I guess everything just happened at once and resulted in the closing.
I hope someone there reads these boards so I can tell them how very much they'll be missed. We loved going by almost every day for fries or egg salad or burgers fresh off his outdoor grill. Not a day goes by that someone in the LEO offices says how we hate it that they're gone.

That's really too bad ... it was a nice place. It does seem to me that, despite the presence of some places with staying power - Cunningham's, BBC, Safier and, of course, LEO , the stretch of Fourth south of the Seelbach seems to be almost impervious to the city's efforts to gentrify it.

I stand here in the wine shop looking out the window towards the deli...
I thought the place looked closed...
I could always look out the window and tell the time of day.
When they were packed (as they usually were), It's was somewhere between 12:15 and 1pm.



Strange, that there is a 'Help Wanted' sign in the window that i don't remember seeing Thursday when i last worked.

The window decal sign has been started to be scraped off though...


EDIT:

This just in.
A sign just went up in the window that reads 'Coming soon: Yafa Cafe'

There are definitely people inside moving stuff around/renovating.

'Coming soon: Yafa Cafe'

Yafa? Jaffa? Israeli or Palestinian? Competition for Safier? Or am I just thinking too hard?
