33 Revolutions in El Cerrito is closing its doors.  They just couldn’t make it.  Another local gem…
g o n e. 

I have commented on them here in this blog, yelped them, and freqented them for their valuable wi-fi and tasty food.  It is a great place, shows true community. 

The economy turned and that didn’t help.  It was too big and perhaps the size is what killed it.  I once heard from a city official, before 33 Revs came in, that the rent at that space was $10,000/mo.  I never quite understood how this Cafe and Record Shop would be able to cover those costs, but they can no longer do so, whatever the rent.

So it is with a saddened heart that we say goodbye to yet another local gem.  Yes, 33 Revolutions in El Cerrito is closing on December 24th.  See more here: http://www.33revolutions.com/
