Restaurant on Calhoun closes

I was sorry to see that the Herban Fare, a new restaurant on Calhoun Street, has closed already. It was in the location where the Super Starz Lounge had been, between Dean Street and Jefferson.

Whether it was the economy, the location or the desired customer base that did it in, or a combination of those factors, the owner had a great idea. He had said he would use local produce (e.g., from the Farmers' Market) and meats from Jones Country Meats.

Woodstock residents are invited to seek out the local restaurants and support them with your eating-out dollars. And keeping that in mind, restaurateurs are invited to consider their meal sizes and menu prices. Couples and families have to be able to afford to eat out. If your prices are out of reach for the too many Woodstock families, you may just find yourselves with fewer and fewer diners, and we all know where that road leads.
