Closson's is Closed

All I could discover
about Charles Frymier
is that Clossens,
where he was a featured artist,
just closed last month.

They had stayed open for 165 years,
surviving two world wars,
the Great Depression,
and a few Great Panics before that.

But 8 years of G.W. Bush
finally did them in.

Unfortunately,
Charles has no website,
(and apparently, not even a telephone)
so it may be a few years
before we hear anything more
about him.
