Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Uh-oh. Looks like summer is starting to take its toll.
The Houston-based restaurant group Legacy's Taberna Mexicana closed its doors last week with a sign on the door stating that it's the economy's fault.
Pesky economy, that guy is always shutting things down.
The Modern Mexican food joint was open for a mere eight months. Its sister restaurant Ninfa's in Glendale closed its doors in April, after its own eight months. To blame: the economy.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
