S.L. Redevelopment Agency pushes deli out of business

(Deseret News) The eggplant was the first to go.

Alfredo and veal, roast beef and lasagna followed close behind. By the end of the lunch rush this afternoon, there won't be much of anything left.

No bread. No sausage. No Phil Musumeci.

"I guess this is the end," said Musumeci, who is walking away from his downtown Salt Lake City deli after 15 years.

The city's redevelopment agency, which owns the building at 251 S. State, has given Musumeci until Sept. 1 to vacate the building, as the city tries to decide whether to renovate or raze the rundown Regis and Cambridge hotels.
