Minnie’s Is Gone!

From Seattlest:

Cafe Minnie’s is no more. Belltown’s greasiest greasy spoon, and only 24-hour joint at that, was finally done in, not by crappy food and crappy service but by the ban on indoor smoking. That’s the owner’s story, and he’s sticking to it.

I used to go to Cafe Minnie’s every weekend for some delicious blueberry pancakes when I worked in Belltown (although I can’t argue that the service was horrible).  I haven’t been there in over a year, but I kind of figured it was the type of place that could never go under.  I thought wrong.
