Number's didnt close ....but its not completely "out of the woods" yet either. Property owner Davis Commercial hired a breaker in an attempt to "retenant" the building ...if it could be sold. So far that hasnt happened yet, thus Number's continues to live. But if the property gets sold.... bye-bye Number's. Latest rumors had the Pappas family eyeing the property with the intent of opening a restaurant at the site. http://swamplot.com/who-wants-numbers-now/2010-09-17/
I was there a few years ago and had the opportunity to chat with him. We had quite a bit of catching up to do as I moved from Houston in '91. Same ol' guy. Good chap, that Wes.
Yeah Wes is a cool dude. We used to frequent Numbers in high school back in the mid to late 90's. He really turned me on to a lot of music that I still enjoy today. I still go from time to time and it's exactly as it has always been. Hopefully it lives on forever.
