Ron at the 57 Alpha Cafe decided to close his doors for health reasons after 32 years. The on-airport cafe is known throughout the Carolinas as a favorite lunch destination.”

Ron was like the one-armed paper hanger.
Busy filling orders by himself.
I’ll miss this nice stop with great Mexican and occasional music. Thanks for the memories. LQK has lunch spot to taxi to.
Also Shelby. Any others in area?
