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.
