Unfortuntaley, along with the new business openings in the Huntsville area comes a closing as well. We were so excited to report last fall that Mr. Po Boy was re-opening in Gurley, but a message on the restaurant’s Facebook page this past week said the Cajun eatery is closing again, this time for good.
