There's a restaurant in Dracut, MA called Mama's. It's a simple red-sauce Italian place that opened up in 1989. Since then, they haven't changed the decor or menu a bit. I no longer live in town but drive the 35 minutes every couple months to hit it up...and bask in the glory of the same meatball sub Mom and I shared on my first day of high school.
Ditto with Mario's in Lexington, MA; the Olympia in Lowell; Benedetti's in Haverhill; etc.
I would KILL to have any of those places in town.
There's enough natural change to always have newness while keeping some places holy.
Obviously, if the Pine Cone was failing, it's a different equation.
Good luck to the new owners—we'll certainly give them a go—but *sigh*.
