Much ado about nothing

Many people are saddened by the news that the Little Holland in Fircrest is closing. Personally, I’d be more disappointed if another one of my pets’ toys disappeared under a couch. The Little Holland’s building is in the way of a new commercial complex, and I assume they are being bought solely to clear space for this new business center. I find it amusingly ironic – the place that never had enough room for its patrons to park will now be bulldozed to make room for parking spaces.

In fairness, I should mention that the Mikie Burger was a very servicable “Smitty” type burger featuring a slice of Canadian bacon. This burger was delicious. Unfortunately, 75% of the time I visited them they were closed. They ran the goofiest schedule I’ve seen in the fast food world. If you happened to find them open, you would likely park a block away, walk down Center Street, place your order with some grumpy, old attendant and then wait 10 minutes for your order. They only had enough seating for a few people, so you were then forced to walk a block back to your car to eat. Fun. I haven’t been in over a year.

Because the business was sold for a good chunk o’ change and not simply forced to go under, I feel comfortable saying, “good riddance.” Take your money from the sale, and don’t open anything else.
