Project 365 Day 224: Closed for Conservation

The aftermath of the flood continues. The city is working on efforts to restore water to the water towers that totally or partially drained yesterday, and as part of that effort the city asked restaurants to voluntarily close today. We made it to El Azteca for lunch today with 40 minutes to spare before they closed early, and had taco/enchilada/flauta combinations (Amy had "pollo" and I had "cow meat", as our waiter put it). Then we walked over to The Cafe out of curiosity to see if they were still open. As you can see from the sign, they were not.

We took a quick drive around town this evening and were happy to see that Hickory Park seemed to be unaffected and open for business. Even WalMart on South Duff was open, just a day after 30 employees had to be rescued from the flooding via city dump truck!
