research note

Angelo Fraboni reopened his former Colonial Inn as a pizza parlor in Sept. 1990 'to fill what he considered a void in the neighborhood'; sold to Patrick Augustine in 1997 (with Karl Krug by 2000, adding pasta, a Cajun night and a fish fry) and to its bartender Travis McGuigan in 2017; closed Dec. 19, 2020 after 30 years when COVID kept its older clientele home.
