Things won't be the same on Broadway

We'll miss the passing of Costello's Travel Caffé immensely. It officially closed Sunday at 4 after 8 1/2 years as the unofficial hub of our, and probably several other, neighborhoods.

The flowers and appreciations written in chalk on the sidewalk in front if the store are a small expression of how many of felt about the place. Costello's was a great example of the kind of business many of us hope will flourish on Broadway as it evolves.

If you want to read more about the decision, the Oregonian had a nice article about the decision. 

Thank you Costello's.
