The story didn't say that the place was closing for good, just that the lease will soon expire unless a new deal is struck. They might just be playing chicken with the owner on a lease renewal. TXR always seemed busy enough to make it worth the owner's while to keep them on as tenants.

May be, but not necessarily enough for the Lesh's continued effort & while.
And again, who knows how much Mr. Jeep is willing to pay for the property?
Still, Phil is playing well right now and he's going to want to continue playing while he can, so if they do shut it down it will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
Maybe he starts popping up in various small places around the area?

Pretty much what we've been hearing for a while.
I suppose Jeep dealerships pay well.
Maybe Phil could just lease the Grate Room and the place could be called Terrapin Jeep?

I don't think so, Mark. A couple of years ago he purchased land on Mount Tam and built himself a pretty nice place.

Good luck with that Peak.
Good luck with that Peak.
Staying "up" on the river might be quite the challenge this weekend.
It sounds like by Monday it could be an inland sea.
Stay safe!

Shit. Worst part of reading
Shit. Worst part of reading that story is learning about John Firmin.
I was having a real good time every time I saw him play. Especially back in the last century.
RIP.
