We're all saddened to hear that Jake's is closing their doors. Jake's has been a little piece of sanity in the Chippewa Valley - good food, nice atmosphere, and live music.   They join a growing legion of local businesses, particularly restaurants and entertainment venues, that are closing since they just can't cope with all of the problems facing small businesses at the moment.

We hope that Jake's will find a new owner and will re-open in some way, preferably as a Northern Wisconsin supper club - a rarity these days, particularly around here.  

Goodbye Jake's - we'll miss youl.
