While I cannot say whether the closure is temporary and/or due to the impending POSSIBLE sale of the property (remember, a portion is also available for rent). Of all the standard things associated with a real estate transaction, a "railfan evaluation" would certainly make for an unusual attachment to the transaction. I think the Cheese doodles attracted the gulls in numbers significantly greater than what is normally found there, which increased the attendant problems proportionally.
