[ale] Melton's Is Closed (for now)

[David Tomaschik]

Am I the only one disappointed to see that the problem started in July
and it took until October to get serious about it?  I know nothing
about running restaurants, and understand that you can't close down at
the first sign of a rodent, but they admitted to an infestation
starting in July... it should have been resolved somehow by now, IMO.
I applaud their handling now, but I'm rather glad I never go to the
after-meetings...
