I've gone to University Fitness (45th and Roosevelt) for nearly a year now. After noticing that they hadn't charged me for my February membership, I asked the owner's wife about it on Monday. She told me that she already knew about the issue and it was just a glitch in the system--one that they would soon fix. Stopping off at the gym yesterday for a workout, I found it empty, the doors locked, lights off and a notice taped to the door essentially stating, "We…

Sorry to see a good business go. Back in December, we speculated that we might see more shop closing after…

Until then, they're having a 30 - 50% off clearance sale. We wonder whether other shops will struggle on through the holidays, then give up the ghost?
Tomas writes: Heya - Your Gypsy Java article reminded me of this tidbit: The Hard Hat Tools place at 35th and Stone moved out completely just before the weekend. Wondering if they folded or just moved? We would be sad to hear that it's gone, but, honestly, we never even knew it was there.
