QUESTION & ANSWER DEPT.
... "Do you know why Cafe Venezia on
11 Mile and Middlebelt in Farmington
Hills closed, and if and when it will
reopen? My wife and I used to go there
and enjoy the food very much. It wasn't
fancy; but the food was great and the
prices were very reasonable" ... Jerry
Natinsky.
As far as I have been able to find out,
that old scourge, lack of business, finally
took its toll. Too bad that more people like
you and your wife couldn't have also felt
the same way.
