3. The White Slab Palace has officially closed after three years. The Scandinavian spot put this letter on it's door:

Dear Patrons, guests, and friends,

We are sorry to be closed. After having been harassed by the 7th Precinct for months and months on end, we are now facing a very uncertain future.

It is with great regret we turn toward tomorrow and the times to come, yet we remain hopeful that brighter and lighter days lie ahead.

And…memories of times gone by couldn’t have been so lavish and exquisite had it not been for all of you who came here and to Good World, with all your stories, pasts, personalities and individual traits!

Thanks again, and until further notice, hope to see you all around.

Best, Annika, John, Lu, and staff.

PS. Sincerest thanks to all staff (throughout the years) most of whom have stood by us through thick and thin, and who have also proven themselves to be knights and princesses worthy of a fine large round table where might was prowess and where a pure heart always won the fight of a worthy cause.

The Seventh Precinct wouldn't let up. White Slab was the followup to Good World, which suffered a similar fate at the historic Bank of the United States building. [BoweryBoogie]
