Oh, this is so sad.

It appears as if one of our favorite local restaurants went out of business at the end of last year.

You may ask, "If it's one of your favorite restaurants, why would it take you 3 months to figure out that it's closed?"

The answer is very simple: Powell's Place was the place to go for Soul Food: Fried Chicken, Greens, Yams, corn muffins, etc., You know, the kind of food that you can only afford to eat a couple of times a year.

But that does remind me of a funny story:

When my Mom and I went out a couple of years ago for my first fitting of my wedding dress, and my cheong-sam, we went out for lunch first. Her choice: Powell's Place. While we were eating our fried chicken, I told her, "You know, there's something really wrong about eating fried chicken right before your first fitting in a wedding dress!". Funny.

Good bye, Powell's Place. We'll miss you.
