GOOD FORTUNE TO CLOSE FOR 3 MONTHS IN WHEATON (PHOTO)

Popular Chinese restaurant Good Fortune, at 2646 University Boulevard in Wheaton, will close this Wednesday, April 30. The restaurant has been sold. Sources tell me the new owner will close for about 3 months, to renovate and update the interior. At this point, word is the new restaurant will retain its specialty as a dim sum destination.

But for now, this is your last chance to stop by for a while!
