Louie’s owner, Cheng-san Chen, who has won a place in students’ hearts for the past 18 years for his friendliness—and alcohol selection—says he will leave Louie’s in the hands of a new owner by the end of the month...

More importantly, we arrived with a belief in our own invincibility, we were 1600 big fish armed with equal parts optimism and naiveté.
