Restaurant owner John "Johnny V" Vassallo has sold his Downtown Monsoon location to his business partner at his Brookfield Monsoon. Vassallo says that the location, just off Cathedral Square, has closed and will most likely reopen as another bar/restaurant.

In addition, Mo's Cucina, 717 N. Plankinton Ave., re-opened today after a week of "fresh paint and a good cleaning" and some minor upgrades.
