Mad Maggies and Red Bar Winery & Bistro both closed recently, but it’s not just Elgin’s downtown restaurants that are having trouble. Nick Sarillo, owner of Nick’s Pizza on Randall Road sent a letter out to customers this week asking for their help in bringing in enough sales to forestall a possible bankruptcy.

The Afterset has had a past of disturbances since its opening in 2004. Elgin’s liquor commission has allowed it to operate while shutting down at least one other establishment with ostensibly less incidences, Anthony’s, which was shut down by the city after only two years of operation under much disputed circumstances.

The 3rd Annual Art and Soul on the Fox festival will be held this weekend in downtown Elgin from 11am to 6pm Saturday and til 5pm Sunday.
