Croaker’s Spot not open in Atlanta, either

Doors closed at Croaker’s Spot
The RTD reports that Croaker’s Spot has closed:
Two signs were posted on several of its front windows. One notice, signed by management, said the restaurant had been closed for “restructuring.” A second, bright orange sign, by the Virginia Department of Taxation said Croaker’s Spot was closed because it owes 43,985.57 in unpaid taxes.
Enjoli Moon, general manager of Croaker’s Spot, said last night that the restaurant is in talks with the state about the delinquent taxes. “We are deciding what we want to do.”
The newer Manchester Croaker’s Spot is still open.
