I met the "new" owners on visit early this year and heard many good stories about Lefty. If you go in, ask to speak with her (if she is in), she would love to hear the story. Many of us have fond memories of Lefty's.

Thanks for your comment. Tell it to the "new" owners when you go in next. They love to hear the old stories. We all have one or two to share.
