Mary Khuu recites the list of disasters, large and small, that have either shut down or slowed business at the family run café she and her husband bought ...

The city updated its signage in a couple of days and before long, the road was also open. Also in mid-January, a pair of sinkholes opened – one in the Casa Grande Mobile Estates on South Hale Avenue and the other in the parking lot of a nearby church. Among her concerns, Khuu said, was that road closure signs failed to let motorists know the café was open and accessible during the construction work. She sent a letter to Mayor Dane White as well as pictures of the area. Debris and boulders forced the closure of Lake Wohlford Road between Valley Parkway and Oakvale Road, said a city staff report. “We’ve had a heck of a time for the last three years,” Khuu said.
