The Downtown Hofbrau will close Friday. The restaurant, at 1920 Tulare St., just east of Chukchansi Park, opened in September serving its German-inspired food. "I gave it my best shot, but it just didn't work out," said owner and manager Leon Alchian Jr., who also owns the building. Business started off strong, but tapered off, he said. And with expenses exceeding the restaurant's income, Alchian decided to call it quits. A lack of parking played a role, he said, noting that successful downtown lunch spots like Cosmopolitan and the Mediterranean Grill & Cafe on U Street have their own parking. Friday is the last day to get those roast beef, turkey, knockwurst, pastrami and corned-beef sandwiches. Posted by Bethany Clough at 3:24 PM | Permalink ... Continue reading →

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, who founded Patch, has been under pressure from Starboard Value, an AOL investor that believes Patch has a “structurally flawed business model.” In its first-quarter report, AOL said “Patch grew traffic and advertisers over 40% year-over-year and revenue over 100% year-over-year.” During a conference call about the report, Armstrong said that “there’s ...
