Heard it through the grapevine that John sold out and plans to close 12/23. Board outing for one last run?

Formerly John's Buffet? Across from the cop shop and metra station in Winfield? My grandfather and John used to golf together. The son who owns it is selling?

Damn.

I'd be down.

Looks like the rumor is they are selling out so CDH can out in a parking garage.

Is the 7-11 closing too? If would be tough to build a parking garage on that property without knocking down that building.

I would think the 7-11 Is going away too. I found out a couple days ago that John also owns the land the 7-11 Is on, and he's been leasing it for the 7-11 since it was there (formally White Hen). John also owned the 2 houses behind the 7-11 That were recently torn down. Lots of strange stuff going on in that area recently. I figured the bar closing down would happen someday. It's been rumored for years.

Its just a shame a place with 96 years of history will be demolished for most likely a parking lot.
