We were in Pauly's last night and purchased a gift certificate for my husband's sister and teenaged niece and nephew who are here for Christmas. The young lady who checked us out said it had to be used by Dec. 30 because Pauly's couldn't get the lease renewed.

I told her I'd heard they were moving and reopening somewhere else. She said another business got the lease at Sante Fe before the owner of Pauly's could get a contract signed, but that he's still looking. Take all of this with a grain of salt because it was coming from a young lady working the register at Pauly's. Anyway, I said that it sounds to me like you won't be opening anytime soon if he doesn't have a lease yet.

She said he's negotiating with someone else that will be a very central location so everyone can be served (whereever and whatever that would mean, I don't know). The cashier said the owner would not divulge the location of the place he's trying to get leased now.

I tried folks, but that is all the info I could get. I do know when I asked for a menu to put in my gift basket for the twins, she said they didn't have any menus. That didn't sound good.
