A mainstay on the South University Avenue bar scene — Mitch's Place — has closed due to economic concerns, according to a bar employee.

Jody Thompson, who is listed as a contact on the bar's website, wrote in an e-mail to The Michigan Daily that with the economic recession the bar was forced to close.

"We have closed," Thompson wrote in the e-mail. "The economic downturn has forced us to close our doors, we could not get any relief from the landlord."
