Little Louie's owner goes east

Tony Beckerley, who owned or co-owned Little Louie's for 22 years, has sold out to a silent partner so that he can rejoin his wife and kids in Ohio. Besides being a nice guy, he was one of the Point's master espresso makers.

He is also the third well-known Point character to be leaving. (Bernadette Ayers at Santa Fe Market has left and Sophia Warith at Mo's market will leave next week. See TOTP's post from last month.)

There's a going away party for Tony this Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hotel Mac in the Banquet Room. Drop your $10 at the door and enjoy food, cake and the presentation of a gift. For more information, email Terry Wynne at terrylwynne@hotmail.com. Please come.
