Columbia news, views & reviews 
I heard that the owners of Prudhomme’s refused to sell an item to a long-time dedicated customer. Instead preferring to auction the item. In the end they got less than the customer had offered.
That would have meant something to him. For the Prudhommes to deny a devoted customer speaks to their character.
Also heard they are raping the building of the bar.
Personally I was sad at first to see this place close, but now I am glad they are leaving.
Could be what you heard is true. Don’t know, though. Thinking of the old saw about waiting to judge someone after walking in their shoes.
