OK..now I'm confused. Stopped by Cugini's the other night and yes the gate was closed but all the furnishings were still inside. I spoke to a gentleman in the little place right next door. He used to work for Cugini's and told me that they (Cugini's) were closed for the month of September and not permanently.
I certainly hope he is right. I guess time will tell.
Keeping Sam (and Francesca) in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
