Last Day in Business

Today is a day of new beginnings, a day after the era of Nick and Terri owning a bar has ended it's long four year run. It is the dawn of a new day and a different start of a new and exciting era in their lives.

Yesterday was the closing of Nick and Tavern on Old Rt 73. I had to stop down one last time as I have always enjoyed the times I have been there to the company that was always there. For Nick and Terri their patrons were more like family than friends. They had spent both good times and bad together and created everlasting friendships and bonds that will last them forever.

Prior to Nick and Terri's they had the Country Inn, but there was just something about Nick and Terri's that The Country Inn just didn't seem to have. Maybe it was the interpersonal touch of all the regular patrons who always seemed to bind together and have a good time.

Nick and Terri's may now be gone, but it will never be forgotten. It was a dream of the two proprietors to make happen on less than a shoestring of a budget and for three years they made it happen. A real testament of their character, resources and will power.

Today is a new day, the first day after Nick and Terri's. The first day in the chapter of their new lives, taking the friendships, the knowledge and the integrity from the adversity they had learned over the past few years and have given them a strong base in which to build upon. Nick has been working as a successful independent contractor the last few years and Terri is getting ready to make the career transitional move.

With great sadness we say goodbye, but with great anticipation we embrace their futures.
