I thought I heard that the Latern was closing after graduation weekend? No other details so share, what does anyone else know of this? Reasons or sold it or just closing up shop or are they still going to be open?

Re: The Lantern closing?
I feel like I would have heard one of my friends complaining about this. I will do some digging.Originally posted by goon View PostOriginally posted by JackFan96 -

I don't frequent the downtown any more, but this place opened up in 1960 as McGurks. The former Artz Locker next door has been torn down and is being replaced by apartments. It could be part of a development plan, that is the closing of the lantern and a subsequent demolishing of that building too and replacement with apartments. Just speculation on my part.Originally posted by goon View PostComment

Re: The Lantern closing?
Sad to say, but the Lantern has been in decline for sometime now. Definitely not what it once was.Comment

Re: The Lantern closing?
I know the bars go through cycles as to the popular ones etc but I always liked playing pool and darts drinking the stop light teas at lantern to start the night then finish my evening at skinners. Just wondering what's the cause of the decline?Originally posted by Evolution Prime View Post"The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer

Re: The Lantern closing?
They might be closed for a bit as the owner/manager was diagnosed with cancer. He just had surgery last week and I'm unsure as to the future of the bar.Originally posted by goon View Post-South Dakotan by birth, a Jackrabbit by choice.Comment

Re: The Lantern closing?
I don't know his name just he was a shorter guy but always seemed nice. Hope things go well for him and that would explain it.Originally posted by SoDakJack View Post"The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer

His name is Troy. He is being released from the hospital today. He still has a long road to go, but we all hope for the best. He really is a good guy no matter what people think of the bar itself.Originally posted by OldHare View Post-South Dakotan by birth, a Jackrabbit by choice.Comment

Re: The Lantern closing?
Sorry to hear this - thoughts and prayers are with Troy and Kelli. Life is fragile, in case you haven't been paying attention.
I just heard from Kelli - the Lantern is still open, their daughter Megan is running it while Troy fights his cancer. Thought you should know.Last edited by MaddogJack; 05-19-2014, 04:48 PM.Comment

Re: The Lantern closing?
It could, not as bad as what the Jackalope lounge needed though. Which had the best price for beer and best live music in town before they closed.Originally posted by witness View Post"The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer
