Food & Drink: Open Questions

THE CLOSING ROLL

Eight wants stand open, each with its settling source: GAP-BIZ-8 (carried from Businesses; narrowed, not closed) — the Granger Farmers Market's founding year: the record now bounds it (an organized, trading, self-described "emerging" market by 2011; a founding-vendor cohort recognized in its by-laws at Revision 3, April 3, 2019), but no source reached prints the year; settlers: the market organization's own records — the original by-laws' adoption page and the Indiana incorporation filing. GAP-FOOD-1 — Macri's Deli's founding year and first address: the house's own arithmetic bounds it to the late 1970s (its "over 40 years" copy; "over 30 years" in 2009), as a thirty-six-seat diner; settlers: the South Bend Tribune archive, the Michiana city directories of the late 1970s. GAP-FOOD-2 — Tony Sacco's Granger opening year (standing by March 2015) and the Florence Avenue room's closing date inside the parent company's 2022 bankruptcy; settlers: the Tribune archive, Toscana Park's leasing records. GAP-FOOD-3 — the Valley Restaurant's founding year and founders (standing by 1989 on the review record's "over 30 years" of February 2019); settlers: the Tribune archive, the county directories. GAP-FOOD-4 — Iggy's Pizza Shop's opening year; settler: the shop's own record, the Tribune archive. GAP-FOOD-5 — the local-option course of Clay and Harris townships: whether and when the townships voted dry before statewide prohibition, and the prohibition-era record on this ground; settlers: the press of record, 1909–1918, and the county election record. GAP-FOOD-6 — Bruno's Pizza's Granger opening year (the house's "more than 30 years" copy does not separate the family's years from the store's); settler: the chain's own store history, the directories. GAP-FOOD-7 — the Between the Buns Granger room's closing year (standing 2011–2012; the chain shrunk to its Osceola original by 2017); settlers: the chain's own record, the Tribune archive. GAP-FOOD-8 — the Granger opening years of The Chief Ice Cream (12479 Adams Road) and of Vanilla Bean Creamery's Granger shop (7424 Gumwood Road); settlers: the houses' own records, the Tribune archive. Behind them stand this section's printed negatives, which are findings and not gaps: no tavern, hotel, eating house, bakery, candy house, coffee roaster, or pre-2011 brewery in either township in any record reached; no signature dish or invention claim; no Lenten fish fry documented for this ground's parishes.
