Adele

Since the owners of Cafe at Adele's put the restaurant up for sale in February, they say they haven't received any offers they're ready to take. They say they are going to be picky about who they sell the property to. That's exactly what diners like Michele Stull want to hear, since the beloved restaurant means so much to the community.

"It's an institution," says Stull. "You come here and it's an event. You enjoy the food, you enjoy the meal, you enjoy the company and it's just a wonderful place."

After 40 years, owners Charlie and Karen Abowd have decided it's time to sell the property and retire.

"I have missed a lot of what my children's life has been like, now we've got grandchildren and I've missed a lot of that and I've finally said I'm not going to do this anymore," says Charlie Abowd, who is in the kitchen six days a week.

This isn't just any restaurant in Carson City. It's a fine dining destination for people throughout the state. It's also a place that fills up with lawmakers every legislative session, where countless handshakes have taken place.

"If these walls could talk," laughs Karen Abowd.

Her husband agrees.

"What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas, well actually, what happens at Adele's stays at Adele's," says Charlie Abowd.

The restaurant has an emotional attachment for generations of families.

"It's amazing," says Karen Abowd. "All the proposals, the first dates, all that sort of thing."

While the Abowds are selling the property and the fixtures, they're not selling the name, which means once the restaurant is sold and closed, that's it for Adele's in Carson City.

The Abowds say the decision to sell has weighed heavily on them. They understand what an important role the restaurant has played in people's lives and what a connection it has been for the community and the state. They say they're going to miss all of the people they've worked with throughout the years. They want the community to know how grateful they are for being a part of their lives.

The restaurant has been getting a lot of calls from customers asking when the place will shut down. The Abowds want to reassure people that, not only have they not accepted any offers yet, a sale of this sort will likely take time.

ADELE MARY IACOBUCCI REEVES

BOARDMAN - Adele Mary Iacobucci Reeves, 95, passed away peacefully, Jan. 8, 2018, at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center, with her daughter, Julia, at her side.

Mrs. Reeves was born Feb. 1, 1922, in Norton, W.Va., to Sofia (Presutti) and Erminio Iacobucci, the eldest of nine children. She came to the Youngstown area as a small child.

Adele had an independent spirit her whole life. She was an avid reader and a life-long learner. Her first language was Italian, but she quickly learned the English language while attending city schools.

She graduated from South High School and later attended Penn-Ohio Business School and took courses at Youngstown State University. From an early age, she learned to sew by making her brother’s shirts, as well as most of her own clothes. She had a sharp eye for detail and became an accomplished dress maker and tailor.

After graduation, Adele studied pattern making and tailoring in Cleveland. She and her sister, Irma, served the World War II war effort as aircraft inspectors at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton during the war years.

Adele worked various jobs over the years in payroll and accounting and also served as the executive secretary to two graduate deans at YSU. She retired from an insurance adjusting firm in the 1980s.

She is survived by her daughter, Julia Ann Murphy of Boardman; son Craig “Carl” R. (Beverly) Reeves of Golden, Colo.; sister Florence; brothers Emidio, Eugene, and Orlando Iacobucci; as well as grandchildren, Daniel, David, Cheryl, Aaron, Kristin, and Elizabeth; step-grandchildren, Greg and Betsy; great-grandchildren; a great-great-grandchild; and nieces, nephews, and many cousins.

Kapanlagi.com - Siapapun pasti setuju kalau Adele adalah salah satu penyanyi internasional terbaik yang ada sekarang ini. Meski telah mengumumkan jika dirinya ingin beristirahat dulu dari rutinitas tour, rasanya tidak heran jika penampilan Adele masih banyak dinantikan para fans, terutama jadwal show di Las Vegas Residency.

Namun penampilan Adele untuk Las Vegas Residency yang digelar di Wynn Hotel itu dikabarkan harus ditunda dulu. Seperti dilansir dari Metro, seorang sumber mengatakan kalau cuaca dan suasana yang ada di Las Vegas bukannya tidak mungkin akan mempengaruhi suara emas Adele saat tampil.

"Adele selalu berusaha mencari cara terbaik. Tapi angin yang berpasir, udara panas dan angin yang kering bukannya tidak mungkin akan menjadi masalah serius untuk suaranya," ujar sumber tersebut pada Metro. Namun masalah bukan satu-satunya faktor utama yang membuat penampilan Las Vegas Residency harus ditunda.

Menurut seorang sumber dalam, anak Adele yang bernama Angelo pun jadi alasan lain kenapa penampilannya di Las Vegas Residency bukannya tidak mungkin ditunda. "Hal lain yang menjadi alasannya adalah Angelo. Dia ingin menghabiskan waktu sebagai seorang Ibu," ujar sumber dalam Adele pada Daily Star.

Sebelumnya Adele juga sempat membatalkan 2 jadwal penampilannya di Wembley Stadium pada akhir tahun lalu. Tentu saja keputusan berat itu harus diambil setelah Someone Like You hit maker tersebut dipaksa untuk beristirahat setelah merusak pita suaranya.

Jika cuaca dan keadaan di Las Vegas memang memaksa untuk Adele membatalkan dulu penampilannya, jelas langkah besar untuk mengikuti jejak seperti Britney Spears dan Elton John pun harus ditunda. Tetap update berita seputar Adele berikutnya cuma di situs kesayangan kalian, KapanLagi.com.
