  1. A sign on the door of Siam Lotus (931 Spring Garden St.) explains that it's closed because of a two-week vacation to Thailand. The phone, however, is disconnected and state records show the liquor license is inactive.

  2. Javier in Haddonfield (208 Kings Highway East) is gone. A statement from Haddonfield's business community said, "Significant internal setbacks during the restaurant's opening months coupled with the prolonged economic downturn led to the demise of the establishment."

  3. Frederick's, the over-the-top Italian at 757 S. Front St. in Queen Village, has closed. Owner Fred Vidi said he is sprucing up the place in anticipation of a sale. No deal is signed, he said.
