No Canterbury Sale Yet. Canterbury Hotel owner Donald Fortunato said he's getting close
to a sale of the 12-story hotel, but the deal is not done. A hotel employee announced at a Wholesale District meeting in July
that a sale was complete. Local businessman Fred Klipsch tells Property Lines that an investment group he's involved with
participated in discussions to buy the hotel at 123 S. Illinois St., but decided not to go forward with a transaction. Original post.

Cuba Goodies
Come the end of the month, downtowners can lunch in the shadow of the State House on cafe con leche and Cuban sandwiches at TaTa Cuban Cafe (137 W. Market St.). Cuban-born owner Alfredo Gonzales-Bonne, a Havana restaurant veteran, says his shop (named for his mother) will also open on Friday and Saturday nights for Cuban Jazz and mojitos.
Any info would be appreciated.
I've got both your questions on my list of regular checks. I'll let you know when I hear anything. Meanwhile, if anyone else has information, please chime in.
