Gray skies aren't going to clear up

... and no one is putting on a happy face at the Silver Lining Cafe, which was in business for a little over a year at 2545 E. Broadway.

The landlord locked the doors and seized the premises and everything inside Sept. 4 for failure to pay rent, according to a notice on the door.


The west end of this weary strip mall now showcases two adjacent abandoned spaces, formerly Silver Lining and Sabor Mexican Restaurant, which closed before most people even knew it was open.
