"Midtown seafood spot Lure Saltwater Kitchen & Bar closed its doors permanently on August 30, ending its 14-year run as a go-to restaurant for coastal-inspired dishes. Employees have been reassigned to jobs at other restaurants owned by Fifth Group (Ecco, La Tavola, South City Kitchen, etc.), and the Lure space will be used for private events and pop-ups through December."
"After 19 years in downtown Decatur, J. Christopher's has closed its doors, marking the end of a long-standing chapter for the community favorite. There are still open locations of the restaurant in Brookhaven and Midtown, as well as in other Georgia cities."
