Zorba's: Grand Reopening in the Works?
As you may know, a raging fire engulfed the building in which the gyros palace-cum-jazz club was housed—what? A couple of months ago? Afterward, in an article in the News-Gazette, the owner expressed uncertainty about whether or not Zorba's would be able to reopen, because of the extensive damage and the costs involved in rebuilding.
It looks as if there might be cause for celebration. Now, not being a real reporter, I don't have any official word on the matter. I'll leave that to, oh, Christine des Garennes, say. But unofficially? It looks promising.
Zorba's, we're rooting for you, and we hope you reopen soon!

Was the sign down or just covered by plywood?
As often as I've walked past since the fire I can't remember.
The sign was just covered in plywood. Workers are cleaning black mold from inside Zorba's, Za's and Pitaya so they've taken the plywood covering down now that they are no longer clearing off the upper floors.
I heard Zorbas will be at Champaign Taste for those who need to get their fix.
First place I ever ate a Gyro over 40yrs ago!!!
dibear beat me to it -- Zorba's was my first gyro, too, about 35 years ago! Yum!
according to the news gazette they are reopening this winter - woot!
Anon, I hadn't seen that in the N-G, thanks for the 411. So happy they can come back from the horrendous fire.
