HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY CHINKS
I think Chinese New Year is the only holiday celebrated by that side of the family that isn't totally Americanized -- and even then it's not like we're out setting off fireworks in the street or baying at the moon so even I wonder if it's even a celebration. CNY does end the four-month blitz of red envelopes, however, and all that entails (Thanksgiving through multiple Birthdays, X-mas, "good grandchild awards," and the New Year).
Above and below is Mee Heng Low -- my family's restaurant. Though the business is no longer run by us, the building is still owned by us, and for all you perverts out there wondering, it translates to "Most Savory Place" or somesuch.

Mee Heng Low is my favorite restaurant. My family used to enjoy waiting for our meals to come up on the dumbwaiter. I no longer live in SLO but often would eat at the restaurant because the food tasted exACTly like it did 40 years ago when I was a kid.
My dad says it mysteriously closed recently without fanfare or even an article in the newspaper.
Do you have any insight on the reason?
