From the Department of Aren’t There More Pressing Issues in the World:

Yale alumni are rallying to save the Yankee Doodle.  From the Yale Daily News:

Yankee Doodle may come back to town, riding on support from University students and alumni.

Since the restaurant closed Monday, citing “economic considerations” — and provoking sadness and shock among Yalies past and present — The Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop’s owner Richard Beckwith has received thousands of e-mails and phone calls in support of the Doodle. And in the three days since the store shut its doors for good, a group of alumni have begun organizing an effort to revive the Doodle through online donations.
