Those who have visited the coffee house regularly over the years say it will leave a big void in the area.
“It’s irreplaceable. It really is irreplaceable as far as a community hub,” says Jim Matheson. “I’m going to miss the camaraderie. I’ve gotten to know so many people here, I don’t know where we’re all going to go.”
The Lido will close its doors for good, effective next Sunday.
