The empty space on Johnson Ave. near 28th St. in Northeast will soon have a new resident. The storefront was briefly home to Amici Pizza and Bistro and before that operated as Snap! Pizza -- a fast, counter-service companion to the old Pop! restaurant that was next door. Now, a hand-written sign in the window (

On the other end of the restaurant timeline, it looks like Papa's Restaurant and Deli in north Minneapolis has closed. Owners Mick and Kris Brogan said that the restaurant suffered a major blow when its surrounding neighborhood was deeply affected by last year's tornado. Though the restaurant itself was not hit, the very worst of the storm damage occurred about 10 blocks away. Papa's never recovered in terms of revenue and was forced to shut down about a week ago.
