Riordan's closes

Riordan's Saloon in Annapolis, which has been a City Dock staple for more than 30 years, will close this Sunday for good. I called and spoke to owner Mike Riordan. When I asked he said, "That's a confirmed kill."

Apparently he had a couple of Baltimoreans interested in buying the place, but the lease terms couldn't be agreed on.

Here's a link to the story in the Capital Online.
