Walker's Point Mexican eatery Cafe Paloma, 606 S. 5th St., has closed. Owner Jose Chavez is still hoping to sell the business, but regardless, he is no longer going to operate the restaurant that opened last summer.

"I’m so full of gratitude toward my customers; however, the winter has been too long, people are very sensitive to weather patterns and I was running out of money," says Chavez.

Chavez, who is an artist and holds a business degree, plans to return to making art full time.

Cafe La Paloma offered a unique Mexican menu and artistic decor. It will be missed.
