I know China on the Run closed because Lisa Parola was moving on to other things, not because the business wasn’t doing well. Do I don’t think it’s totally cursed, but it is in a very odd location.

Nothing seems to last there very long…I hope whatever goes in does well!

Although Lucky Jim’s Fish & Chips didn’t last long, the British novelist Martin Amis, son of Kingsley Amis, spent a chuck of his formative childhood years growing up in Ann Arbor.

Which referred to the title of one of the novels, or a character in the novel.
