Update from Melange’s PR team: “Unfortunately, the news is true. This weekend will be Melange’s last day at its current location.”

Perhaps focusing on Doro Soul?
I’ve sent messages to their PR rep and the restaurant but have not heard back yet. A call to the restaurant this morning rings without answer or voicemail. Will update if/when I learn more.

“Dear Neighbors, Friends and Supporters of the Uptown:
Thank you again for all your support and enthusiasm for our idea to revive the Uptown as a center for arts, film and education.
As you know, last week we submitted our proposal and letter of intent to lease the property.
