Gone but never forgotten. While we’ve seen an influx of new businesses in recent days, we’ve also had to say quite a few goodbyes.

Here are places WStoday readers said they wished would return:
“Pig Pickings just had the best barbecue, hotdogs, pork skins, fish —I haven’t seen a restaurant around here like that in a while.”
“Chars — No one else can do a footlong special as good as theirs. Come to think of it there aren’t many places that still serve footlongs.”
“Four Seasons Drive In — I haven’t had a good souvlaki or burger in a basket since they closed.”
“Allen’s Dairy Treats”
“Dom’s, Mooney’s, and Crafted. It is increasingly hard to find excellent protein-heavy vegan options!”

We also posed the question on Instagram and here’s what some of you responded:
“Fabian’s” — @a_senseofnostalgia
“Athena” — @synergywsnc
“Irie Rhythms - the best Jamaican food I’ve ever had. I’m still searching for Jamaican/Caribbean food as good as that. Johnny & Junes 😂 Just kidding. Sort of.” @msmorgan07
“Bennettes Hot Dog Shop” — @wearehappyhill
“The original Village Soda Shop. Would give anything for a grilled cheese and a limeade from there!” — @sarahwjenkins
“Mooney’s Mediterranean!” — @lotusyogaacademy
