Bye, Bye, Miss Meridian Pie



LONG TIME RESTAURANT CLOSES ITS DOORS


Lonnie and Pat's Cafe, a staple of the Meridian restaurant scene, has closed its doors, perhaps for good this time.

A sign on the door reads: "Due to lack of business May 8th will be our last day to be open. Thank you for your business."

Lonnie Jones’s first venture was a general store by the name of Lonnie's Curb Store.

For many of us, sitting around on wooden drink cases, drinking beer and telling lies at Lonnie's was a rite of passage.
