They didn't actually demo it, it's still there under all the teal and mauve vinyl. But really, how depressing...

If you're in that area, eat at Ron's, there's really nothing better around in that price range.


Blue that reuben looks amazing.

We haven't been to Ron's in years. I still remember their Reuben Stromboli. Interesting.

I think Ron's had traditional and pastrami Reuben's.

Looking over their menu from the link, it looks like 3 kinds of Reubens, but no Reuben Stromboli. Also, they've slightly changed their name. I guess the 'Schoolhouse' was getting in the way of all of the drinking.

Maybe we'll go back to Ron's one day. I still like the menu at Drafting Room. Our friends liked the beer selection at Drafting Room, as well as the fact that they allowed sampling.

BTW, I still can't believe those are the original walls at Lion Share. I guess it's possible to repoint 19th century stone, but it really looks like they tore it all down and replaced it with fake stoneface.

Take a closer look. I drove past it twice a day during the renovation.
