I was really saddened by this article. It seems a shame to make a successful, popular, award winning restaurant close and for what reason? Sounds like a greedy landlord to me. I hope she finds that kicking out the Laubes makes as much sense as did raising the rent on the hardware store in the historic Kolln Building.

What!? If I would have known about the hotel closing it's doors, I would have pushed my family to eat their for Christmas Eve. I've been there a few times with family, usually around a holiday, and it's sad to see a place that holds so many peoples' memories go! My earliest memory of this was going there and looking at the old Cheese Factory place across the street. Damn landlord!!!

Does anyone know what will go in or become of the Pleasanton Hotel?
