I heard Tulane bought it and is planning to close it with the honors dorms opening up across the street. Any TDers heard the same? Spent many happy hours there.

Where will 40 year olds go to prey on drunk 18 year old upstate new york sorority girls?

Idk why they'd close it... I'm sure Tulane doesn't like it, but it's a great college bar IMO.

It's not news, I'm just asking.

The mom of the person who told me works for Tulane.

ETA: but he was adamant it would close around the time the zimple dorms were complete.

Don't start a thread on the grounds that someone's mom told you. Come on, dude.

I mean I clearly asked if any TDers heard the same? I figured this would be big news and someone on TD would have the inside info.

The people who own it, own some rental property and are my customers.
I may look up their file and do a follow up on my repairs and see if then drop this rumor.

I can't find anything online about it, so unless they're keeping it hush-hush until they get closer to the closing date...?
