Took the kids out for supper last night at Harry's Diner on Calumet Drive. Not sure if anyone has eaten there or not but they have a 50's type atmosphere with, what I would call, great food. Nothing extremely out of the ordinary but a nice variety and reasonable prices. Never had a bad waitress at the establishment either.
So, we were a bit disappointed to hear from our waitress that it was the last evening they were going to be serving supper. :o( I guess one of the chefs was quitting and the hours will now only be 7:00-3:00. Bummed me out. I guess I should have asked where he would be going or what his plans were but then it also dawned on me how many others would be affected by his decision.
As I was paying the bill and talking with the hostess she as well made note to the sign of the new hours. She talked about how tough it was going to be on some of the girls working there for they will be losing around 2 hours per day. You begin to add that up (tips and all) and it could be big bucks for some. Once again the whole economy issue is dealt to individuals and small business owners.
As I left the tip - probably a bit more than usual - sadness did reign over me a bit. Kind of the end of an era. A comfort zone and always a backup plan for supper now fades away. It tends to make me think of all the little people (businesses) that seem to be affected by major decisions by an individual (or government). Can you sense my bitterness or slight sarcasm? Walking out of the diner my only thought was "There's always breakfast!" Try it sometime - omelets are awesome!

It is sad to hear that another one of Sheboygan's resturants are shortening their hours. Harry's is closed on Monday's now it is closing earlier during the week. Everytime I drive past that place it always seems packed. A little gold mine. I'm surprised that they can't find another cook during this time. I guess it is going to be a breakfast and brunch joint from now on. Sad to hear that.
