The Harlem of the West: What’s to Become of The Fillmore? | Bon Appétit
"Once a soulful, swanky community hub known for gospel brunches, it served as a place to hobnob with community leaders, host fund-raisers, and run summer programs that introduced local kids to dining out. It was valued as one of the few African-American–owned restaurants where Black diners could see themselves reflected; the owners taped a letter announcing its closure after ten years, a loss that left neighbors feeling colder amid ongoing displacement and gentrification." - ByShakirah Simley
