OWL CAFE: A treasure, not a travesty
This is in response to Ron Dayton’s ridiculous letter regarding the OWL CAFÉ. You obviously do not know the Owl Café was a gathering place for friends and families from the time it started until it closed. Could it be that you are from out of state and never enjoyed a home cooked meal there?
