Default Marie Callendar's sudden restaurant closures

I went to eat at a Maria Callenders in Napa, CA not knowing much about
it, but my brother-in-law lived down the street from it, and thought
it was a good place for a quickie. I discovered the Arnold Palmer
drink there, which I now make myself. Coming from Pittsburgh which is
close to Latrobe, where Arnie is from, and I had never heard of it,
even though I lived in Pittsburgh for over twenty-five years. What is
even more ironic, I ate at a local place (Valley Dairy) which could
not be more than a mile from where Arnie lives, and they had never
heard of the drink. You would think that would be their signature
drink since the chain is locally famous in Latrobe, although Arnie
lives in the next town called "Youngstown."
