We take no joy in bringing you bad news, so please, don't kill the reluctant messenger.  Here are this month's buzz-kills:
- Pisco Sour, Mount Dora's Peruvian restaurant, permanently closed its doors downtown in June.  The eatery opened last fall in the former space of the popular Lost Parrot and Eduardo's restaurants. 
-  The owners of Double Creek Pottery in Mount Dora decided to close their location next to Maggie's Attic downtown.  The store had featured locally made pottery and other artisan gifts.  
 
Scroll down for this month's shout-out. ​

There's no shortage of good deeds and warm fuzzies our local residents bestow on others.
This month a shout-out goes to a small Mount Dora business making a big difference in cancer patients' lives.   In  June, Saving Face Esthetics & Waxing Bar began the "Warrior Wand" program to provide complimentary eyebrow microblading to cancer patients who have lost their brows to chemotherapy.  The simple procedure gives patients semi-permanent eyebrows to help restore their confidence.  A clearance from a patient's oncologist is required before they can have the procedure.  Patients can get more information about the procedure or contact the business here.
