Is Volle Nolle closed or just doing their store over? Anyone know?
Reopening by this weekend with dinner only and new menu.
Matt is correct, they’re updating the concept and re-opening soon.
They have a good facebook page (not sure if it’s a fan or friend page) where they post on a regular basis.
It’s a good way to stay in touch with what they’re up to.
A great photo of the Memorial Weekend weather. Too bad it was not good weather.
