Azure, one of the earlier entries in the Northern Liberties boom, closed after dinner Monday (5/19) -- just shy of five years. Talk on the street is that owner Bob Bitros has retired and will lease out the room to a royally well-known pub team. I'm also hearing whispers of a Mexican theme, which should be interesting given Owen Kamihira's plan to revive Deuce up the street as a Tex-Mex called El Camino Real.

How depressing. Art Star closed also. A eyeglass place is moving into their spot. I don't know why Deuce closed, the place was consistently packed.

Art Star didn't close, it just moved down the street.
