Packard Pub packs it up

Closed, open, then closed again

When students left town for the U-M winter break, the Packard Pub closed its doors and posted a hand-lettered sign on the door that read, "Happy Holidays. See you in 2012." As of mid-February, the doors remained locked and lights dark. Boding even less well is the phone number scrawled on the sign beneath the holiday good wishes: it belongs to a law firm in Mount Clemens that specializes in bankruptcy cases. Several calls were not returned.
