Here's an update, courtesy of The Gainesville Sun: Mellow Mushroom has closed and will supposedly reopen in a different location somewhere near campus. I have a feeling that this will be like the Tony and Pat's saga; for those of you who don't remember Tony and Pat's, they were open for 30+ years on Archer Road, where the Kohl's is now located. Kohl's bought up all that property and T+P swore they'd reopen in a location to be determined, told everyone to check their myspace, and then disappeared off the face of the Earth. Given that the Mellow Mushroom twitter and facebook pages are gone, and that people have confirmed that traffic was slow, I think saying that the restaurant will reopen is paying lip service to people here until people forget about Mellow Mushroom.
Anyway, here's the whole article: http://www.gainesville.com/article/20091008/ARTICLES/910081057/1002?Title=Mellow-goodbye-Univ-Ave-pizza-joint-closes

10/7 Update
I've neglected this blog as of late, but I realized that I have a duty to the internet that reaches beyond food reviews. I will still be reviewing local food places but I will also post any important information I hear or discover about restaurant changes, openings, or closings. Here are two important nuggets, to be updated when more info is available:
- Mellow Mushroom (1209 West University Ave) has apparently closed down. Lights are off, the location's facebook and twitter pages have disappeared, and phone calls to the number went unanswered. This appears to be only the Gainesville, FL, location, and not all Mellow Mushrooms.
- According to an interview on 10/6 on 92.5 WIND-FM, Sonic is reopening in Gainesville. Details on locations and dates will follow.
