The latest establishment to shut down is Waters Restaurant, a lakeside eatery that was once a popular hangout for local politicians and area residents.
Owner Robert Kinney said Wednesday that the 20-year-old restaurant in the Woodbridge neighborhood was in need of major repairs. But, with the shaky economy, the investment didn't seem worth it.
Kinney, who took over ownership of Waters 15 years ago, said he was leasing month to month. Given the economic slowdown over the past two years, Kinney said he thought it was time to call it quits. Last week he told the Irvine Co. and customers that New Year's Eve would be the eatery's last day.
