December the darkest month here in north America yet from the moment of darkest comes the beginning of more light/the cycle of our lives played out as a lovely sonata or brisk winter wind across the cheeks of a child/ who ever forgets that sense of wonder looking up at the winter snow or frozen puddle/is that my face looking back at me?
I SIT HERE IN MY BAKERY THE SMELLS OF IT FILL MY HEART WITH JOY/ even as i ponder the fate of this LEGACY, the history is short by geology but long in tooth of those that have memories from childhood,who come back like lemmings to partake once again in strudels,dobos, and their own specific taste they must have again. when you eat memories you nourish a place within that only you can feel but all people feel too.
we are on the brink of the end of an era, the cafe is on life-support, the buckeye rd. a shadow memory of what was once good.like the a field of dreams i long for some light to come out of the darkness to renew and sustain toward the unknowable desired result of my years of work, i do not know what will be and i am ok.
peace to all who find it in their hearts to pray for more donuts for the NEW year.

Beautifully put. It's a bittersweet time for so many. Here's to plenty of donuts in the New Year.
Michael, this breaks my heart. I'm a Columbus native and still live/work there, but I make it a point to stop in at Lucy's when work or visiting the in-laws takes me to Cleveland. If Lucy's moves out to the burbs, I'd still visit, but would also be very sad to see yet another piece of Cleveland's proud ethnic history be uprooted.
The boys over at Fresh Fork are going through some growth pains too. Hook up. Together you might become even more unique than you are separately. Local production for local consumption! Unparalleled quality!
Good luck, and may God bless you in your enterprise.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. These are very tough times for all business people. Wishing you all the best - Nancy
Let me know anything I can do to help. Lucy's is a great place and should not end.

Hi Michael,
I just saw your blog through Cool Cleveland. I understand your writing here all too well. I hope that better times are to come. I won't try to make suggestions, or to try to make things seem better. They are what they are and we feel them with our souls and mind.
I wish the best for you...
