The auction of Abigail's Tea Room. Two years ago it sold and we all had high hopes, but it didn't work out. Then last year there was a temporary tenant, and that didn't draw enough customers. Now the two cottages joined at the hip that once were the Abigail will be auctioned with the contents.

Here's a photo of a painting I did of the Abigail a number of years ago.
Yes, you can't see much--it was mostly covered with vines in the summer, usually with people waiting to get in. If you already have another job, wouldn't you like to open a restaurant 12 weeks during the summer?

How sad! Regardless of what hastened the demise of Abigail's (and I hope that some things I've read aren't true), it's unfortunate that the Lakeside Association did not offer assistance in preserving this piece of heritage. No matter what happens on that street corner, nothing will ever take the place of an evening dinner on the vine covered porch at Abigails!
