Everyone has heard by now that Mister C's is closing after decades of being one of the favorite restaurants in Omaha. To say there was nothing like it in town is an understatement.

The property has been sold and the restaurant is going to be torn down. Everything inside and outside the place is going to be sold at auction. Collectibles and Memorabilia Garden items are to be auctioned Saturday, October 6th starting at 10 in the morning and Restaurant equipment will be sold on the 10th at 10 am.

The first auction is going to be the most fun, I think. (OK, sad and fun.) The auction company has a website that lists what seems to be hundreds of items and you can place a bid for these online or show up in person at the restaurant (5319 N 30th) to bid on a lot of other stuff not available online. I looked through several pages of the catalog and they have figurines, paintings, photos, tables, Elvis collectibles like you wouldn't believe, ceramics, a lighted sign for the Ladies room, and my personal favorite - all those Aksarben Grand Champion Steer photos. (I can't stand the thought of those going to someone else - just kidding.)

Anyway, the site below will take you to the information page for the Mister C auction. Click on the "Simulcast Catalog" link and then find the Mister C auction from the page with all the auctions listed. This will take you to the photos and descriptions of what's to be auctioned. Oh yeah, at the top of the page, be sure to click "Images - Large" to get a good sized photo of each item.

It is sorta sad to see the old place go. This was the only place where I wasn't kinda put out when the manager came around to ask if everything was Ok with the food, etc. Mr. C really did want to know if everything was OK. He owned the place and wanted to make sure you were happy. At other places around town it seems the hired managers are required to make the rounds and ask if you're satisfied. (Yes, I'm happy enough, now get out of here.)

Mr. C is one of the local greats like Mrs. B at the Mart. I'm not sure there are any left, and that's very sad.

This is very sad. I have many fond memories of dining at Mister C's with my family over the years. When my brother was in town for a visit back in January we went to Mister C's for a final goodbye dinner, and we had a great time reminiscing.

Mr. C's will be open this weekend, through Sunday.
