The Grove is closing
Early in the day an anonymous tipster passed along a rumor that The Grove was closing. Sounded like a good thing to blog about, but I didn’t want to pass along a rumor that could (potentially) be damaging, so I fired off an email to The Grove to see if it could be substantiated. (Didn’t get the reply yet.)
I needn’t have bothered. I picked up The Source today and right there on their front page: Say It Ain’t So: Grove announces its last show. Beat me by 10 miles.
The Bend Restaurants Blog has a post about it too.
Kind of ironic that when I posted about Storm and the Balls playing there last Sunday, that it was to be one of their last shows.
I’m surprised the ‘business’ in the upstairs rooms didn’t help keep them open.
Boohoo, that place sucked anyways. It will not be missed by anyone I know. I guess I assumed that it was closing because nobody went there and it was out of money. Every article I’ve read about it makes it seem like we’re losing a historic landmark or something.
