Well, that was weird. Go out for our anniversary unknowing that we booked a table at the last ever service at the famous Arun's Thai restaurant, closing after 39 years. Met Arun. Ended up on the local news as well. https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/aruns-thai-restaurant-closes-after-almost-four-decades-chicagos-northwest-side

Apparently Arun was at UChicago pursuing a PhD when he decided to start this restaurant. Doing a bit of math in my head, if I were to "retire" at the same age of 78, then I also would have run my business for 39 years after leaving UChicago. Freaky.
Although given the current direction of "tech", there's no way I'm waiting until 78 to retire. Sorry. No.

@dabeaz thats wild man. I don't think I ever actually ate there, though I walked and rode my bike by it many a time.

@count3rmeasure We'd never eaten there before so we were pretty taken aback when the owner stopped by the table to thank us and said this was the last night ever.

@dabeaz Twice in my life while traveling I've walked into a restaurant because I had to eat somewhere and the place looked nice only to find it was opening night, and both times were a delight. Once was Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe. (!)
