Kite's Bar Closes End of an Aggieville Era in Manhattan
Kite's Bar and Grille, opened by former major league player Kite Thames in 1954, closed after 40 years as Aggieville's centerpiece. IRS back taxes and state beverage violations helped seal its fate, with auction delayed and owners planning a sale as students mourn the end of a local landmark.
