I admittedly don't care to eat out much but Athens was one of the better restaurants here. I will miss their deep fried haddock. apparently residents' loss is VLSI gain. Cést la vie

I guess I'll never understand the misguided loyalty residents seem to have with a business entity called VLSI...its not wise to love a corporation because its incapable of loving you back....like golf.

Personal Best Regards:
I don't have undying, misguided love for VLSI. I have RESPECT for them upgrading Spanish Springs and building new homes in the oldest neighborhoods of TV, so that all regions of TV are up to date and appealing to home buyers we will someday want to come and buy OUR homes here.

As one person said here before, the restaurant owner knew when they signed the lease whether they could renew or not. Obviously they kept their other two locations for a time such as this. Maybe they made enough money here and are now quitting while they're ahead. The overall economy is not stable, in fact I'd call it volatile.
