William Ho s of Shorewood might have been the longest-lasting area restaurant that said goodbye this year. But several others had decades of service, too.
The Soup House, a downtown fixture for more than 20 years, is in its last week of business.
It will be open Tuesday through Thursday, serving bowls of Buffalo chicken on Tuesday, a new barbecue chili on Wednesday and beer cheese chowder on Thursday, among others, and then close for good.
The restaurant, at 324 E. Michigan St., usually was busy with downtown workers at lunchtime. Many offices, however, continue to have their employees work from home because of the pandemic. Downtown is such a ghost town now, said co-owner Ruby Erickson, who noted that the weekday, lunchtime business and its location in the heart of downtown relied on having those office workers nearby.
