Tom's Place owner weighs future of long-time restaurant
De Soto area landmark Tom's Place faces possible permanent closure after owner Loran Dale Bruns suspended operations pending a decision next week. The 63 year old establishment has been on the market four months amid a weak economy, high overhead, and changing dining habits. Bruns plans to consult with associates before finalizing whether to reopen or sell. The site, opened in 1921 as a Prohibition speakeasy, has hosted many notable guests and loyal patrons since.
