Aziz and his wife were always so welcoming and the bar on live karaoke night was like no place else. <br /><br />To lose McKinnon's to yet another "upscale" restaurant is just a sign of the times...and not a good one. badcarburetorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330425652077941319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-31404041345797531072021-06-05T16:41:24.808-04:002021-06-05T16:41:24.808-04:00😢😢Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-57255416157687329412021-06-05T16:33:07.872-04:002021-06-05T16:33:07.872-04:00So, so sad to hear.
