If this sign is to be believed, downtown Nicky's has closed their doors for good.

As with any other local business closing, this hurts my heart to write. I have a slightly more personal connection with this restaurant, however, and it makes me feel a little down knowing that I won't be able to enjoy downtown Nicky's any more.

Growing up and going to high school here in Shreveport, I always considered myself a Nicky's connoisseur of sorts. I loved absolutely all of their locations, but frequented the one off Pines road the most due to its proximity to my high school. About a year after graduation, on a Sunday afternoon, my friends and I were discussing where we would eat lunch. One of my friend's little brothers suggested we go to the Nicky's in downtown. I laughingly tossed out his suggestion, me being the "Nicky's Guy" in the group and knowing full-well that the kid didn't know what he was talking about. After all, I visited all of the Nicky's in town and knew for certain there wasn't one in downtown Shreveport.

An argument among the group ensued and I was (pleasantly) shocked to find out the kid was right, and I was wrong. There was indeed a downtown Nicky's, and due it's it's sneaky location underneath the downtown bridge, it was forever coined as the "Secret Nicky's" in our group from that point forward. We even wrote a song about it, which I'm too embarrassed to share here, but I'm sure if you're curious enough, you can find it somewhere on Facebook.

Today, a great friend and local pizza God, Sal Marciano of Sal's Pizzeria, shared a photo on Facebook that sadly caught my attention. Sal shared a pic of the door at the downtown Nicky's, showing a sign that was very recently put up.

The sign simply reads;

"We are very sorry to say that this location has permanently closed! We will miss you all so much! Thank you for your loyal service to us through the years!"
