Sapphy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 They went out of business last fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yes. There will be more. I've noticed several places out East are now gone. Small businesses that haven't survived. The economy has finally caught up with them. Tax structure for small business will not allow more than about 2 years of losses, or averaging of the last five years. Either way, no profit, no business.Even my local post office is closing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Last I heard/read in the Dispatch they were looking for a new location, maybe in Grandview if I remember.When it was the Jai Alai, the dining room (in the basement) was the largest in the world. Famous for their salt rolls and prime rib. Woody Hayes always took the team there for dinner after home football games.It was kinda sad to see it made into the personality-less place that was the Buckeye H.O.F. Cafe. Won't miss it one bit.

cmh_sprint Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think they closed because someone bought the land to build a hotel or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Jai Lai was awesome....BHOF Cafe had terrible food.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 There are plans for a new one in the Goodale area in Grandview I believe. There might be new condos or something ike that where it once stood. The Cafe has been out of that location for the better part of a half year, and already had an auction there for the memorabilia.

vw151 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I just remember the "million dollar game room" which was a million dollars 10 years ago but more recently it was a bunch of broken down games on old style non HD rear projection TVs. Interesting to see something so state of the art age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
