Aww, shucks! Pumpernickles has closed

I just read in the Jewish Light that Pumpernickles on Olive Blvd. has permanently closed.  It was one of my favorite places to eat.  You know, back in those olden days before the pandemic.  They served kosher food.  Pumpernickles' website, which may not be there much longer, calls it "the place to meet, eat, and kibitz."
