2 closings to report in the Huntsville area

Unfortunately, amid the plethora of openings in the area, we saw two popular local businesses close recently:
1892 East: The Five Points restaurant had been open for 15 years, but announced on its website last week that it is suspending operations indefinitely.
Insanity Complex: This sports and entertainment complex was in business for 10 years and provided numerous people in the community with lasting memories. If you read the comments on the closing announcements on social media, you’ll see just how popular this spot in Madison was.
