Parallel Closes Today

In just the last couple of weeks or so, a handful of friends have been telling me about a cool modernist oasis on Burnet called Parallel, which is a combination coffee shop / wine bar / gourmet market / gift store. Sadly, Austinist reported yesterday that Parallel is closing its doors at 5pm today. I really wish I'd heard about this place sooner, but I suppose that was the problem (they opened four months ago and I've seen no advertising or press). Anyway, I plan to drop by today to pay my respects, browse the half-price clearance sale, and have a bite.
