The Birmingham Mill Closes Its Doors
Since before I was in high school, The Mill has been a fixture in my life. And now, without so much as a farewell weekend, the last one has closed its doors.
When I was younger, it was all about the good food. As I grew older, it became more a place for my friends and I to hang out. In high school, that was where all events began and ended. Often, The Mill was the evening. Later, in college, it was where everyone went during school breaks. There really was no better place in town to see old friends.
Now, some twenty years or so after they began, the last Mill has closed… Though the concept seemed like a sure thing, I would hear of one closing after another. Even the (original) one’s in my hometown didn’t make it. After reading the article, it sounds like poor managment to me, but what the hell do I know?
