Yesterday hundreds of people visited John E's Restaurant and Lounge one last time as it auctioned off its inventory. The almost 30-year-old restaurant closed last week; its owners blamed the economy. Meanwhile WHAS 11 also is reporting that a former employee "has filed a complaint with the labor cabinet. Chris Smeltekop says he hasn't gotten paid since the restaurant closed and he is still owed a check from a full pay period." [WHAS 11]
