Well summer begins on June 21st doesn’t it? And the 20th marked the last of the Wednesday in the Square free concerts. Why they would close with Bag of Donuts when they had to rain cancel two fabulous bands is beyond me, but hey, whatyagonnado? There was a good crowd out there and we headed over to Emeril’s after for a cocktail and then to Del Forno to celebrate their grand opening. La Vita will miss Fatma now that she will be overseeing this restaurant. We ran into Moosey and his brother and son who were just leaving but decided to stay when they saw us. B&K were there eating at the bar and Y came by to say hi and next thing you know J came in with a giant painting and said that she was on her way to Holland because her brother in law – 52 – just passed because of cancer – very sad.
I don’t think that Del Forno will capture what La Vita gave us – a great sense of rejuvenation and spirit that we all needed after Katrina. But I’m sure they will be successful there.
