Luck, whether owners want to admit it or not, plays a part in the eventual success or failure of a restaurant. This is especially the case when first starting out. A new restaurant can have excellent food, a prime location, and even quality marketing, but if luck isn’t on its side, the business will not survive. Sadly, that seems to be what has happened with one local restaurant, which officially closed up shop last week. While fans and patrons are holding out hope the business does return, as of today, the Phoenix establishment is no more after less than a year after opening (although it has left the door open for a possible return).

At 14-years-old, Shonna Wesley became a mother. The details involving her home life or the father of her child remain secrets only privy to those involved, loved ones, and the authorities. It has been over 40 years since anyone has seen or heard from the young teen—who, in 1981, was a 16-year-old mother to a two-year-old daughter, Shandonder. On the day Shonna went missing, she and Shandonder reportedly went to the store to meet up with Shonna's boyfriend in Dallas, Texas. However, what happened to Shonna after this encounter has plagued investigators for decades.

They say that change is inevitable, but sometimes it is also difficult when you lose access to an eatery that you've enjoyed for many years. For some Floridians, long-standing restaurants and ice cream or hot dog stands are signs of a time gone by that has wonderful memories, and few people want to lose them.
