It’s been a long time since I posted and I hate that my first post in months is about something shitty. The owner of the Grit died today, from a fall from the parking deck in downtown Athens. My first inclination is that he committed suicide but we don’t know for sure.

My heart goes out to his family, and the Grit family.

It’s no exaggeration that the Grit is one of the reasons that I wanted to move back to Athens. The thought of being able to go to that restaurant any time that I wanted drew me back to this town ( the other thing was the Engine Room). I hope that it is able to survive this, but who knows. I know that I will continue to go there as long as it is open.
