Abrupt Farewell

By Arlana Pathammavong

I'm writing this simply because I'm surprised someone hasn't beaten me to the punch.  Wondering perhaps if it is as much as a surprise to people in town as it is to the employees that were sprung with the news that they'd no longer have a job, when South Beach abruptly closed Saturday evening. 

Perhaps it was just too much to get into, trying to open a restaurant again in town with business going the way it was for everyone.  Or perhaps it just wasn't worth the time and energy.  But either way, one would think that there would be some sort of notice to people that the restaurant was closing.  Another Batavia business down unfortunately.  I suppose there were reasons for why they closed, but its a shame things don't seem to last around Batavia.

THIS HAS BEEN A PATTERN I REMEMBER THE PIZZA PLACE THEY HAD IN BERGEN. I WAS ACTUALLY IN COURT AT THE SAME TIME AND VENDERS WEREN'T GETTING PAID EITHER.I DON'T LIKE TO BE NEGATIVE AND HOPE THERE'S A POSITVE SIDE TO EVERYTHING, BUT MONEY ALTERS THE WAY PEOPLE VIEW THEIR ACTIONS AND MORALS.
