""After more than 50 years, I think the time has come. The downtown area is still not back to where it was pre-pandemic, and I just don't think it's going to happen for a while.""
""There is a time for everything in life. Every journey has a beginning and an end, and what matters most are the memories made along the way.""
""There was a collective sigh of relief from the livers of those of us in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s who enjoyed many Happy Hours, libations, and great times there.""
Clarke's, a bar and restaurant with a 50-year history, has closed permanently after struggling with reduced downtown foot traffic since the pandemic. The owners faced foreclosure on the property and found auction prices too high to purchase. Stephen V. Miller, an owner, noted that the downtown area has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. While there are hopes to reopen in a new location, the closure marks the end of an era for a beloved establishment known for its wings and beer.
