Original Wendy's Closing Friday

This just ruined my whole day. This Friday an Ohio landmark, the original Wendy's restraunt, will be closing.

The original Wendy’s restaurant that company founder Dave Thomas opened in 1969 will close Friday.

The Downtown icon, chockfull of Wendy’s memorabilia, has been losing money for years, particularly after the old Center of Science and Industry across the street closed in 1999.
