After nine years of business, Soup's On, 221 N. Water St., is closed. Owner Mary Krimmer decided it was time to retire.
"Thank you for your patronage. I've enjoy serving each and every one of you," wrote Krimmer on her website.
I wrote about Krimmer in a 2006 article and found her life story to be powerful and inspiring. After raising eight children and running a home day care, Krimmer decided to fulfill a dream and open the restaurant.
"I ran a home day care for 30 years and, during that time, I made a lot of soup," she says.
Personally, I will miss her delicious white chili the most.
