Then....

Central Festival will be closed on Sunday?

 

 

 

I was just told by someone who lives in Urbana 1 that the Superhighway 11 side road is flooded. Not sure if the main Superhigh way is flooded. If anyone is driving on the Superhighway 11 tell us here.

 

It could go either way with Central Festival, they're known to battle through emergencies, but given the state of the roads there would hardly be any people going there, and not sure if employees can come in either. They're obviously elevated though, so Central Festival may not be affected.

 

I feel bad for the small Thai shop owners, I saw dozens flooded yesterday. First covid lockdown now this. This is will be really bad for businesses.

 

Many great restaurants will close.I had a reservation at Petit Jardin yesterday. They had to cancel as the restaurant was forced to close. Power cut.

My top four would be, Casita Mexican, Rajdarbar Indian, Au Der Auf German, and KhuaLek cafe. Out of those 4 the last 3 are closed due to flooding.

 

Coffee shops, Hom coffee, At Ta Rote coffee, the 2nd is currently underwater.
