Oh, yeah, that happens with some frequency. Bunches of newbies in Sacratomato CA area, and some oldies dropped off like swatted flies. The end and beginning of month is a great time to check.

We just checked out two new places not far from us - one is OK, decent, the other has some growing to do. A favored sushi spot and a Davis Japanese restaurant for years have gone sayonara, and a couple of others I have counted in are gone - but OTOH, some of the stalwarts go on.

You need to get some closer to you - if only!
