Different experiences, but the same spirit of community.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0The owners said rising costs, changing audiences and a desire to enjoy life untethered from the venue all played a role in their decision to sell. <\/p>\n<p>\nSundown will close Nov. 1. The Granada will close in April. <\/p>\n<p>\nSchoder and Garton said that personal reasons also contributed to their decision to close shop after 34 years. \u00a0<br \/>\n<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\n<br \/>\u201cA friend recently told me, \u2018We\u2019ve got 20 good summers left.\u2019 Those words stuck.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This is a developing story.<\/p>\n<p>Got a tip?
