The current economic climate can be seen on the plate of the $249 per person meal listed here, as juxtaposed against the 2012 announcement that Hobees at T&C was closing. At one time, Hobee's at that location was where I spent nearly every Sunday morning. Published here, Web Link had 94 comments. One comment that struck a chord in me was this: "Palo Alto is a city with a long local history. It was once a unique small city whose government and residents gracefully balanced money with manners with self-awareness. It no longer exudes these as primary characteristics, and is unlikely to regain it against the current of ostentatious wealth and calculated greed. If you wonder why people have written about their memories and sense of loss for Hobee’s, it is more than just one restaurant, it is for a string of pearls that have fallen from the strand that will never return."

Not everything can be resurrected.

Christos Anesti!
